hey guess what is 99% effective in keeping children from contracting respiratory illness by airborne route, even before they need a 1/3 to 3/4 effectiveness in keeping people out of hospital

In children it was found to be 72.8% effective in keeping them out of hospital once contracting Super-K, and for 18 to 64-year-olds 66.3% effective. Like most other viruses, however, the over-65 group took a sudden dive – 31.7% effective. The data showed the current influenza vaccination was still the best form of protection available against Super-K, Barr said.
