It's a big fear of mine since my caseload is huge during flu season. </p> <p>@SeptMomma12: Oh man :( RSV is rough stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-immunity-amp-flu-vax-question#post-1096774 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 09:13:39 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1096774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It will provide some, but you still need to minimize exposures best you can until after the baby gets the vaccine.

No idea if it was at all related to my flu shot, but he didn't get the flu. (Got RSV, but that's a whole other story!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-immunity-amp-flu-vax-question#post-1096674 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 08:52:54 +0000 Boheme 1096674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is too little to get the flu vaccine until right smack in the middle of flu season - December. I work in a hospital emergency room so our vaccines are mandatory and early. I got mine yesterday. Since he is EBF will that provide him any protection before he is able to get his vaccine? </p>
