The relative benefit of the vaccine is of paramount importance in light of the recommendation of the Centers for<br />

Disease Control and Prevention and the American academy of Pediatrics to vaccinate all children between 6<br />

months and 18 years every year, a recommendation that the National Asthma Education and Prevention<br />

Program endorses.<br />

The Mayo Clinic study spanned eight consecutive flu seasons and involved 263 children ages 6 months to 18<br />

years. All of the children had laboratory-confirmed influenza between 1996 and 2006. Researchers verified<br />

which children had or had not received the vaccine, which were asthmatics, and which had to be hospitalized<br />

with flu-related illnesses.<br />

The study showed that children who had been vaccinated had three times the risk of hospitalization of children<br />

who had not been vaccinated. Asthmatic children who received the vaccine had a ‘significantly’ higher risk of<br />

being hospitalized than asthmatic chldren who had not received it. No other factors, such as the severity of<br />

asthma, appeared to have an effect on the risk of being hospitalized.<br />

The findings do not implicate the flu vaccine as the cause of hospitalizations, Joshi said, adding that they do,<br />

“raise questions about the efficacy of the vaccine,”[…]<br />

Volgens mij was het niet de aard <strong>van</strong> het griep-vaccin dat de ziekenhuisopnames veroorzaakte, maar het feit dat<br />

ze bij deze kinderen – door de tijdelijke immuunsuppressie - de immuunstatus zodanig verlaagden dat bestaande<br />

aandoeningen zoveel konden verergeren dat ziekenhuisopnames noodzakelijk werden.<br />

En dat mechanisme wil ik zo spoedig mogelijk op een onafhankelijkemanier laten onderzoeken, want ook in ons<br />

eigen land worden astmatische kinderen doodgewoon blootgesteld aan de hele reeks prikken <strong>van</strong> het RVP plus<br />

vaak preventieve griepprikken omdat ze tot de zogenaamde risicogroep behoren.<br />

In afwachting <strong>van</strong> een antwoord op deze en mijn vorige brief groet ik U met de meeste hoogachting.<br />
