6 month vaccines & flu shot ?

Question

My daughter has her 6 month vaccines coming up & i guess what would be her first flu shot .. i feel like the flu shot is not necessary because we don’t leave the house .. did any of you do the 6 months vaccines but deny the flu shot ?
**please no vaccines debate everyone’s belief are different**

Answer

Definitely opting for my LO to get the flu shot. Covid does not seem to have a strong affect children, the flu however is life threatening to a child.

Answer

Never heard of 6 month vaccines. Can I just ask what are these vaccinations? In the UK they don’t do these and neither flu shots until the age of 2. We had 2,3 and 4 month vaccinations and then when little one is 1 year old

Answer

The flu shot doesn’t hurt them (besides the poke and maybe being a little fussy), but the flu can kill them. It was a no-brainer choice for me. 🤷

Answer

We did the flu shot for our 6 month old, and we are still in quarantine for the most part. We chose to because while we don’t leave often, it only takes encountering one person with it, and the flu can be so dangerous for babies. With everything going on, we thought it safest.

Answer

My baby had her 6 month vaccines the beginning of Dec. We decided on the flu shot for her. She just got the 2nd one last week. We live in Orlando, Fl and with it being a tourist area we think it’s best. Her dad gets it. But I don’t. I did it one year and was super sick for over a month. She’s been fine with all her vaccines. No fever.

Answer

My 6 month old just got his vaccinations last week and I denied the flu shot. I don’t get it so he’s not getting it. Is there even a flu this year? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

I just had my LO 6 month vaccines. Hubby and I decided it to be safe then sorry. We’re still quarantined, but the flu is still a Thing even though COViD is dominate.

Answer

My son is 6 months old and he got his first flu shot at the appointment along with other vaccines. He didn’t have any bad reactions to any of them and didn’t cry much either. Going in for the second shot next month.

Answer

I did. Little dude was pretty lethargic the next day but i figure better safe than sorry

Answer

This is a tricky response for me personally. My daughter (who is now 2) got her flu shot when she was 6 months old. It was December 2018 and by February 2019 she came down with both A & B type flu at the same time. It was AWFUL. There’s really no medication they can take for flu at that age and her fever ran 104 for days, not to mention she had to be put on breathing treatments every 4 hours daily for 2 weeks because her lungs had fluid build up. She was a perfectly healthy girl without any underlying health issues otherwise. We thought once she got better that we could just move on, then 2 weeks later (STILL FEBRUARY) she gets it again but this time only type A. 
I’m just not sure how affective it is considering what happened to my daughter. After that she hasn’t gotten the flu shot again nor has she gotten the flu.
