Head-to-head comparison of influenza vaccines in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

J Transl Med

October 2024

Pediatric Center, MTA Center of Excellence, Semmelweis University, Bókay Unit, Bókay János Utca 53-54, 1083, Budapest, Hungary.

Article Synopsis
  • - Vaccination against influenza varies globally in terms of coverage, policies, and funding; however, child-focused nasal vaccines that are pain-free are rarely implemented, despite their potential for herd immunity.
  • - A review of clinical trials showed no significant differences in efficacy between live-attenuated intranasal vaccines and inactivated intramuscular vaccines, but some multi-center studies indicated an advantage for the live-attenuated version in certain settings.
  • - The study recorded few serious adverse events from vaccines, suggesting that increasing the use of pediatric nasal flu vaccines could be advantageous, and there's a call for more research, especially involving younger children and those in tropical regions.
