Flu vaccination??

Question

Are any of you mommys out there NOT giving your little one the flu shot when it comes time for shots?  Why or why not? My friend sent me a link today of reasons to not give it to your LO and it freaked me out. I was wondering about  the pros and cons of giving it or not giving it

Answer

I absolutely will be getting the flu shot for my baby. I had the flu this past winter (while pregnant!) and it sucked.  I could barely get up off the couch for almost 4 full days and did not leave the house that entire time. It took me weeks to fully shake the symptoms. I would be terrified if my daughter got that sick and I'd feel incredibly guilty that there is a safe and simple way to prevent it. Not to mention the flu is much more dangerous for babies.

Answer

I will not be getting myself or my little one a flu shot. In my opinion, i do not want to put anything else into his little body that is not an absolute requirement. Every one is different though and I'm sure you will get all kinds of responses! :)

Answer

I definitely get my babies vaccinations but opt out of flu shot.

Answer

Great question you should make a poll on this

Answer

I hadn't really thought about it. I've never had one and didn't get one while I was pregnant either...something I should discuss with her ped I guess!
