PSA: For mommies taking meds that lower your immune system and the Flu shot
Hi ladies! So DD had her flu shot yesterday and got the shot, but next year she will be almost 3 so she can get the nasal one (only for children 2 and up), but the nasal one is a LIVE virus. I say this because my Ped brought up a GREAT point......for any mommies taking meds that lower the immune system your children should NOT get any LIVE vaccinations as it can cause you to get sick! I had no idea and never thought of that! With starting Enbrel it never occured to me my child's vaccs could harm me! Just wanted to pass that on and I guess it's part of a new study conducted by the CDC and the AAP just released on Monday.
