Question

Patricia is an active, healthy 5-year-old. She loves to play outside with her dog. She missed only one day of school last year. But when she woke up this morning, Patricia was feeling tired and achy. She wasn’t hungry, so she just had juice for breakfast. A couple hours later her parents were called at work and told to come pick Patricia up because she was complaining of a headache and sore throat. Later that afternoon, Patricia’s condition worsened. She had fever, chills, runny nose, and a dry, hacking cough in addition to a sore throat. After taking Patricia to their family doctor, it was determined that she was ill with influenza. Patricia’s dad received the flu vaccine over a month ago; however, her mom or Patricia did not. Patricia’s mom decided to receive the vaccination for the first time after hearing of her daughter’s diagnosis.

Would you expect the vaccination that Patricia’s mom received to protect her against the influenza virus? Explain your answer.
