Do you get your kids the flu shot ? At my son’s one year appt they wanted to give him a flu shot. Just curious because I declined. I don’t get the flu shot, so I figured why should he 🤷🏽♀️
That’s what I was thinking ... it’s better to let body build antibodies naturally .
I get it because my works is requires it or you wear a mask from December till March. And I get it for my daughter cause she is in daycare and I don’t want her getting the flu or getting the other kids sick. And when my youngest is old enough she’ll get it as well
Have any of you ever got the flu even after taking the shot ? Curious about the effectiveness ...
@expectinggreatness, me and my daughter both felt fine afterwards and never got the flu just the minor colds that’s it.
We all do. I work in medicine so I have to, my husband gets discounts on our health insurance if he does (and gets physicals, etc), and my oldest is in preschool so he has to. TJ will be getting one when he’s old enough too. Too many kids die from the flu, I’m not risking it

@expectinggreatness, the only time I’ve ever gotten the flu was the one year I didn’t get the shot......
I have too because its a foster care rule. Every one has too in my family
We all always get the flu shot. I'm not trying to clean up a bunch of flu puke. They're also required for public school where I live. But even it they weren't, we would still get them

@expectinggreatness we've never gotten the flu or had any side effects from the shot. I've had the flu as a kid before the shot existed and it was so awful. I never want to get it again and never want my kids to get it
I’m allergic so I just make sure my house is super clean, stress frequent hand washing and see my chiropractor regularly. I see him tomorrow matter of fact. I don’t force my family after I did the year my son was born and everyone except me and the kid had to take a week off after getting that shot and I had to take care of everyone down to the in laws. It really is okay to let your body build antibodies.
