Infection with the influenza virus can have a serious effect on the
health of people of all ages, although it is particularly worrisome
for infants, the elderly, and people with underlying heart or lung
problems. A vaccine exists (the a /flua shot) that can greatly
decrease the impact of influenza. Because the strains of virus that
are expected to cause serious illness and death are slightly
different every year, the vaccine is also slightly different every
year and it must be given every year, unlike other vaccines. The
Immunization Safety Review committee reviewed the data on influenza
vaccine and neurological conditions and concluded that the evidence
favored rejection of a causal relationship between influenza
vaccines and exacerbation of multiple sclerosis. For the other
neurological conditions studied, the committee concluded the
evidence about the effects of influenza vaccine is inadequate to
accept or reject a causal relationship. The committee also reviewed
theories on how the influenza vaccine could damage the nervous
system. The evidence was at most weak that the vaccine could act in
humans in ways that could lead to these neurological problems.
