6 month old and flu shot
My twins will be 6 months old on 12/7. I am debating whether to get them the seasonal flu shot. I do have a school age little one at home too (he's 6) so he brings home germs but he has already had H1N1 so now I'm just more worried about the seasonal flu. He has had his seasonal flu shot and so have DH and I.
Would you get a six month old a seasonal flu shot?
TIA

Re: 6 month old and flu shot
I am when Mason turns 6 months next month. He goes to daycare and around other kids. My personal opinion is if they're at daycare, have school aged siblings, parents that work at a school, hospital, etc... might as well be safe than sorry. You can't keep him in a bubble all winter long.

DS goes to daycare so he got he first round of the shot at 9 months old. The pediatrician's office is out of the flu shot so we're still waiting for the second dose.

My DD was just 6 months old and we gave it. I have an older daughter as well who attends preschool.
