DD didn't get one during her first year of life but she will be getting hers tomorrow. Glad to read that some if your little ones didn't have too many side effects! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1189301 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 21:19:46 +0000 googly-eyes 1189301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like since you already got through half of it, I'd just go through with the other shot. I feel like one day of crankiness is better than them getting the flu, but it's up to you. Of course the vaccine isn't 100% anyway, but I think I'd just go through with it. Also I'd watch her the next few days and see if maybe the crankiness could have been caused by something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1189228 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 20:30:29 +0000 QueensBee 1189228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pete got the one dose shot with his 6 month vaccinations. I got my own flu shot on Monday. My arm is still sore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1189225 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 20:29:28 +0000 dolphin 1189225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, DD got her flu shot at her nine month wellness check, and so did me and DH! Her second one is next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1188992 Thu, 31 Oct 2013 18:15:34 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1188992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: I so appreciate that, thanks! I wish I still had access at work to really find research articles about this stuff...it's so hard just googling everything and figuring out what's credible and what maybe isn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183595 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 07:17:57 +0000 lizzywiz 1183595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Deer: Here is a rebuttal for that article, for your researching pleasure :wink: , but I still can't decide what I think!<br /> <a href="http://thepoxesblog.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/non-epidemiologist-tries-to-do-epidemiology-feeds-anti-vaccine-activists/" rel="nofollow">http://thepoxesblog.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/non-epidemiologist-tries-to-do-epidemiology-feeds-anti-vaccine-activists/</a></p> <p>I struggle with every shot. I was a rehabilitation therapist who actually worked with someone who was officially vaccine injured and was paying me through her vaccine injury compensation funds. Brain damage. Scary.<br /> BUT, I have also done public health work in 3rd world countries and seen the devastating results of not having vaccines.<br /> @DillonLion: Mine is 18 months. Didn't get her the shot last year but I got it for the first time in a decade in hope that nursing her would offer some protection. Got it for her this year and am supposed to go back in a month, coinciding with 18month shots. I will not give her any thing but the flu shot that appt and space out the other shots over the next weeks. Crazy, and somewhat illogical, but it makes me feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183591 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 07:13:55 +0000 MrsF 1183591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M was a little cranky after hers but I figure it's nothing compared to having the flu, so she'll be getting the second shot soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183588 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 07:09:28 +0000 Smurfette 1183588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R got it with her 6 month shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183582 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 07:01:58 +0000 hilsy85 1183582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo also got hi first round...no side effects that I could see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183562 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 06:40:51 +0000 Adira 1183562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got it for Xander and did the same as you - two shots 4 weeks apart. His first one he got with his other 6 month shots and was NOT happy, but he got over the second one pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183540 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 06:13:30 +0000 looch 1183540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is required in the state we live in for children attending daycare or school, so my son's flu shot is scheduled for November. This will be the first one he has had, he'll be 3 in December.</p> <p>I had mine yesterday, and FWIW, I understand they use a new needle and I barely felt it going in at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183469 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 00:39:37 +0000 boots 1183469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO didn't/will not get one this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183452 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 23:57:29 +0000 lemondrop 1183452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all got ours recently, C had absolutely zero side effects from it. It surprised me since usually he's a little grumpy after getting shots, this time he was completely normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183424 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 22:59:22 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1183424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our new pediatrician recommended NOT getting one which really surprised me (I'm definitely pro-vaccine).

We will get the second shot in a few weeks.</p> <p>She cried for a few minutes after the shot but it didn't affect her sleep.</p> <p>I hope C feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183395 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 22:21:58 +0000 MarieJ 1183395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the two shots for DD. She was fine after both doses. Hope your LO gets back to normal soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-shot-2#post-1183385 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 22:09:59 +0000 DillonLion 1183385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get one for LO? We scheduled the 2-shot booster that she gets a month apart. She had her first one today and has been so cranky and unlile herself. She always STTN and was up,an hour after going down, crying. </p> <p>I am debating keeping the appointment for the second booster! Right now it is scheduled to happen concurrently with her 1 year ahots. </p>
