'An advisory panel to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that every person be vaccinated for the seasonal flu yearly, except in a few cases where the vaccine is known to be unsafe. "Now no one should say 'Should I or shouldn't I?'" said CDC flu specialist Anthony Fiore.

If accepted by the CDC, this recommendation will then be publicized to doctors and other health workers.'
