TL;DR
The common practice of using negative frames when describing probabilities of side effects may need to be reexamined, considering its deleterious influence on self-reported side effects and work absenteeism.
Abstract
In contrast to previous studies of health care workers, framing did not influence patients' decisions, possibly due to the patients' awareness of their higher risk of influenza complications and greater desire to follow recommendations. The common practice of using negative frames when describing probabilities of side effects may need to be reexamined, considering its deleterious influence on self-reported side effects and work absenteeism.

Normal adults over the age of 23 can be immunized with a single, well-tolerated dose of A/New Jersey/76 vaccines, with a trend toward fewer systemic reactions in vaccines who had preexisting hemagglutination-inhibiting (HAI) antibodies to the vaccine virus in their sera.
