Children Most at Risk
Because children are most susceptible to the flu, many experts are saying the best way to prevent the spread of the flu is to vaccinate all school children. They come into contact with millions upon millions of germs each day, and when they come home they will only continue to spread it to their families -- and before you know it we will be infected families all across the world.
The United States Government claims that children have already made their way to the top of the priority list in their eyes when it comes to vaccinating people. Their immune systems are the weakest, so they can only be most affected if they are not vaccinated in a timely manner.
This new strain of the swine flu is unusual in that the flu usually infects the older population, but research shows otherwise for this particular flu.
