I've recently heard a few parents talking about getting their kids these shots. So I decided to take a look at the CDC numbers again. There's a graph where you can select death counts per age group:
Given that death rates for the elderly are in the thousands per week, while those for kids jump around two to four or so, is this a good idea? Typically you want the benefits of a vaccine to outweigh the risks. I certainly could be missing something, but it doesn't look like this is the case for healthy kids.
