flu shot...should I continue at this point?

to make a long story short my ped's office did not have them until November

I did not get him in for his first dose till end of November

he was scheduled for his second one end of December but he was sick and on antibiotics

I was planning on going tom but was wondering if it would even be beneficial at this point.

You know what, I had almost the same problem...Dr.'s office didn't have them, Katherine had a cold for several weeks, etc. etc. Anyway...

Katherine didn't get her first dose until 12/22!!

I still didn't make her appt for the 2nd dose, but I'm going to try for next week regardless of whether she *needs* it or not.

I know the first time they get the flu shot, they need 2 doses, then it's 1 every year after that. You might as well just get it over with otherwise, you might find yourself in the same situation next year with the 2 separate shots.

I wouldn't bother going for the other one, Julia only got one in October and the doctor said it was fine cause she got 2 in 05.
