Is the new needleless flu vaccine the beginning of 'airborne' vaccination?

As bad as forced vaccination is, we apparently make it worse for our children when we expose them to a little temporary pain.

But for the coming flu season anyway, kids will still get to experience a little bit of real life: Pediatricians, as well as vaccine advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have rejected FluMist, the first nasal spray influenza vaccine, ostensibly because it has proven regularly ineffective at preventing the flu.

As reported by NBC News, new research appears to show that actual flu shots "provided significantly better protection" in recent years when compared to the nasal spray vaccine, says Dr. Henry Bernstein of Cohen's Children's Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York. Bernstein is one of the physicians who issued a statement on flu vaccines published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, or AAP.

He went on to tell the news network that while parents want their kids to be protected against influenza and still have the choice of avoiding an injection, "I think that people recognize that flu vaccine is the best preventative measure that we have" to offer flu protection.
