Re: Are you giving your child the flu shot this year?

Yes, both of my girls will be getting it in time...DD is 3 years and will be getting it in a few weeks. When baby girl is 6 months she'll be getting it too. We are both around WAY too many people and DD is in preschool, that brings so many germs.

Yes.
However, your 4 month old should not be getting it now. Kids can't get it until they are 6 months.

They can't get the flu shot until 6 months old so you don't have to worry about it this year.

Yes.

DD got hers last week and I'm getting mine in 2 weeks.

DH and DS can't - DH is allergic to eggs and DS is only 3 months old.
