Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: there is no evidence of increased risk of subsequent asthma diagnosis among children younger than three years of age who received live-attenuated influenza vaccines compared with placebo.

Reviewers’ commentary: more studies are needed to assess the safety of live-attenuated influenza vaccines in children younger than two years of age.
