This decision was made based on vaccine efficacy data which suggests that the flu mist will not provide significant protection through the year against he flu. It is for this reason that MFM will only provide injectable flu vaccines this upcoming season to all patients over 6 months of age. The NYS Vaccine for Children (VFC) Medicaid based program will make every effort to fill vaccine orders, as vaccine supplies allow. Reasons to vaccinate your child Diseases are making a come back.
