Babies and Flu Shots

My baby girl is 6 months old, and she has an appointment to get her shots; one of the shots (shown on her record) is the flu shot.

Can I request not to have her take the flu shot?

Everyone that I know of, including my husband, have bad reactions to the shot, and often end up visiting the ER. Thankfully, I have never had the flu nor have I ever taken the flu shot.

I am so afraid to have her get it, and have a bad reaction.
