Influenza vaccine in healthy adults

Conclusion:

“The universal immunization of healthy adults should achieve a number of specific goals: reducing the spread of the disease, reducing the economic loss due to working days lost and reducing morbidity and hospitalization.” None of these goals have been demonstrated in the available RCT evidence.

Clinical implications: “Universal immunization of healthy adults is not supported by the results of this review.”
