Kids get flu shot to protect classmate

(ANSA) - Padua, November 19 - The teachers, parents and classmates of an immunosuppressed girl at a primary school in the northern town of Baone, near Padua, decided to get a flu shot in order to protect her.
    The eight-year-old girl cannot get vaccinated because her immune system is compromised and a seasonal virus could pose a risk for her health.
    A total of 20 children, three teachers and a group of parents were given the vaccine to provide a high level of coverage in the class and prevent the circulation of viruses, medical personnel said.
