  Sixty-nine percent of children with current asthma received flu vaccination
  
  Influenza virus infection (flu) can worsen asthma symptoms, trigger asthma attacks, and may lead to pneumonia. Vaccination (shot or nasal spray) is the best protection against flu. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people 6 months of age and older get a flu vaccination† every year to protect against flu and complications from it. The flu nasal spray is approved only for ages 2–49 years.
