(1)(4)(26)(27)(35). • On the basis of research evidence, influenza vaccines are effective in preventing disease in high-risk individuals. (8)(17)(18). • On the basis of strong research evidence, influenza vaccines are safe in young infants and children 6 months or older. (8)(15).• On the basis of research evidence, the use of corticosteroids and epinephrine is beneficial in the treatment of laryngotracheitis caused by parainfluenza viruses.
