About Come of Age Deluxe Edition Come of Age (also alternatively titled The Vaccines Come of Age) is the second studio album by English indie rock band The Vaccines, which was released on 3 September 2012. It follows their debut album What Did You Expect from The Vaccines?, released the previous year. The vaccine is redeveloped each year to contain specific strains of inactivated (killed) flu virus that are recommended by public health officials for that year. The injectable Flucelvax Quadrivalent (flu shot) is a 'killed virus' vaccine. Check out Come of Age by The Vaccines on Amazon Music. Stream ad-free or purchase CD's and MP3s now on Amazon.co.uk.
Who should receive the vaccine?
Everyone 6 months of age and older, who do not have contraindications to the vaccine, especially:
People at high risk of influenza-related complications or hospitalization
- All pregnant women;
- Adults and children with the following chronic health conditions:
- cardiac or pulmonary disorders (includes bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cystic fibrosis, and asthma);
- diabetes mellitus and other metabolic diseases;
- cancer, immune compromising conditions (due to underlying disease, therapy, or both, such as solid organ transplant or hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients);
- renal disease;
- anemia or hemoglobinopathy;
- neurologic or neurodevelopment conditions (includes neuromuscular, neurovascular, neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental conditions, and seizure disorders [and, for children, includes febrile seizures and isolated developmental delay], but excludes migraines and psychiatric conditions without neurological conditions);
- morbid obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 40 and over); and
- children 6 months to 18 years of age undergoing treatment for long periods with acetylsalicylic acid, because of the potential increase of Reye's syndrome associated with influenza.
- People of any age who are residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities;
- Adults 65 years of age and older;
- All children 6-59 months of age; and
- Indigenous Peoples.
People capable of transmitting influenza to those at high risk
- Health care and other care providers in facilities and community settings who, through their activities, are capable of transmitting influenza to those at high risk;
- Household contacts, both adults and children, of individuals at high risk, whether or not the individual at high risk has been vaccinated:
- household contacts of individuals at high risk;
- household contacts of infants less than 6 months of age, as these infants are at high risk but cannot receive influenza vaccine;
- members of a household expecting a newborn during the influenza season;
- Those providing regular child care to children 0-59 months of age, whether in or out of the home; and
- Those who provide services within closed or relatively closed settings to people at high risk (e.g., crew on a ship).
Others
- People who provide essential community services; and
- People who are in direct contact with poultry infected with avian influenza during culling operations.
Schedule
Adults and children 9 years of age and older should receive 1 dose of influenza vaccine each year.
Children 6 months to less than 9 years of age who have never received the influenza vaccine in a previous influenza season should be given 2 doses of influenza vaccine in the current season, with a minimum interval of 4 weeks between doses. If they have been properly vaccinated with one or more doses in the past, they should receive 1 dose of influenza vaccine per season thereafter.
Simultaneous administration with other vaccines
All seasonal influenza vaccines, including LAIV, may be given at the same time as, or at any time before or after administration of other live attenuated or inactivated vaccines.
Who should not receive the vaccine?
- People who have had an anaphylactic reaction to a previous dose of influenza vaccine;
- People who have had an anaphylactic reaction to any of the vaccine components, with the exception of egg; and
- People who have developed Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) within 6 weeks of a previous influenza vaccination.
Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) is contraindicated for:
- People with immune compromising conditions, due to underlying disease, therapy, or both, with the exception of children with stable HIV infection on HAART and with adequate immune function.
- People with severe asthma (defined as currently on oral or high-dose inhaled glucocorticosteroids or active wheezing) or medically attended wheezing in the 7 days prior to the proposed date of vaccination, due to increased risk of wheezing; LAIV is not contraindicated for people with a history of stable asthma or recurrent wheeze.
- Children less than 24 months of age, due to increased risk of wheezing.
- Children 2-17 years of age currently receiving aspirin or aspirin-containing therapy, because of the association of Reye's syndrome with aspirin and wild-type influenza infection; aspirin-containing products in children less than 18 years of age should be delayed for 4 weeks after receipt of LAIV.
- Pregnant women, because it is a live attenuated vaccine and there is a lack of safety data at this time; LAIV is not contraindicated in breastfeeding mothers.
- People who have received an anti-influenza antiviral drug in the previous 48 hours.
