Next wellness checkup I have to decided if I want the flu shot for my son. He will be 6 months then .. Help did you give your kids flu shot this young?

I have to make this decision for myself before my next dr appt at 28 weeks pregnant. My BFF said to ask for the flu shot that doesn’t have preservatives in it but she said not all dr offices have that kind. I’ve never had the flu shot before but being 🤰🏻 I’m going to get it since I’ve ask my dr a million questions to understand the facts & statistics behind the reasoning.
I got the flu shot when I was pregnant but now I’m not sure if I wanna give him the shot :/
@ellaafterdark, I’m totally going to feel the same way when my little girl is born
Yup bc it was around that time when the flu was coming around hard and yes 6 months is when it is first offered.
I’m very allergic to eggs, so no. I also have my issues around this particular vaccine. This is the one shot I tell others to do your own reassarch on and decide for yourself and to make sure you have time off saved just in case. I’ll stick to what has worked the last 22 years. Lysol,bleach and monthly chiro adjustments. Only been sick twice in 22 years and I worked in the medical field for 12 years before I was a momma so it can be done.
My husband works in the medical field and has a high chance of coming into contact with the flu so we always get it
If you get your kids vaccinated, why not just get the flu shot also? - I get it every year, my kids get it every year.
I don’t get it and I won’t give it to my daughter. If you wanna know why we can private message. I’m pro-vaccination just against the flu shot
No, last year he had a bunch at shots at one time and I didnt want to add another. Plus, we rarely go anywhere during flu season and he isnt in school/daycare.
I got it for my kids. I even got it for myself for the first time in my whole life this past Friday.
I didn’t and still don’t but my kids are not in school or day care we do not leave the house during flu season or have company If they were in school I probably would think about it really good.
You’re going to get very mixed answers on this. A lot of people are against it. My kids did get it.
My doctor also recommended me getting the flu shot while pregnant ? I'm not sure if I want to or if i should ? It's all scary to me !! What do you ladies think ? Did you get the flu shot while pregnant ? Are there any risks? Or should I wait ? I'm so scared of taking anything while pregnant , much less getting this shot.. He said it isn't mandatory , just recommended.
My friend just told me that once you have your baby they get a hepatitis b shot and flu shot automatically. I don't know how I feel about the flu shot.🤔
flu shot..
Who all will be getting a flu shot and when? And if not what is your reasoning?
Flu shot
Debating getting the flu shot... I have a 2 year old in daycare and I'm a teacher, but I read you can still get the flu even with the shot, what do your OBs say?
flu shot
Who else has gotten the flu shot?
