Study: Little or no value to flu vaccine

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) --This year's flu vaccine had little or no effectiveness against influenza-like illnesses, according to a preliminary study released Thursday.

The study, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, looked at workers at Children's Hospital in Denver, Colorado.

Of the 1,000 people who got the vaccine before November 1, 149 went on to develop influenza-like illness (14.9 percent). Of the 402 people who did not get the vaccine, 68 got an influenza-like illness (16.9 percent), the study said.
