New Flu Vaccine Details Announced

U.S. health officials have announced that two new flu vaccines that can protect against four flu strains will be introduced this year.  In addition, a new egg-free vaccine will be available for adults with allergies ages 18 through 49, the Orlando Sentinel reports.  There are other vaccine options for the elderly and needle-phobes.

Originally founded in December 2006 as an independent grassroots publication dedicated to coverage of health issues in Florida, Health News Florida was acquired by WUSF Public Media in September 2012.
