I'm looking for some evidence-based research in support of the flu shot....... stuff that shows it’s low risk, talks about potential benefits, risks of not getting it (particularly with a young family)... that kind of stuff..... Peer-reviewed would be great.

My wife and I have always got the flu shot and can't remember when we last caught the flu. However, our son-in-law is a naysayer and we are advocating for our grandchildren. I've taken a quick look for information to fuel the discussion but it means wading through literally thousands of documents to find anything.

I'm hoping that an FTM member who has a medical background, or who is just someone who's done the research, can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
