| A beautiful box for the flu vaccine. But doctors almost never give you the insert that came with the vaccine: Why? |
"And now some words from our sponsor (GlaxoSmithKline)" — via the package insert:
"There have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with Flulaval."
"Safety and effectiveness of Flulaval have not been established in pregnant women, nursing mothers or children."
"Safety and effectiveness of Flulaval in pediatric patients have not been established."
"Flulaval has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential [cancer causation] , or for impairment of fertility."
"Do not administer Flulaval to anyone... following previous administration of any influenza vaccine."
