On the plus side, experts from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Goppert-Trinity Family Care Center are quoted and readers are encouraged to “ask your doctor if you could use a shot.”  Missing from the article are links to current CDC guidelines and to the studies alluded to in the concluding section that lists ways to “bump up protection you get from immunization.”
