We also got #2 at 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-flu-booster-shot#post-572585 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:49:59 +0000 mrsmenow 572585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the shot they give kids requires 2 doses</p> <p>ETA:Look under the administration reccomendations for 6 months-8 years. It looks like if it is their first year getting the flu shot they get 2 doses</p> <p><a href="http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/children.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/children.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-flu-booster-shot#post-572582 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:48:42 +0000 JoJoGirl 572582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, @Mrs Jacks would know but it's probably just a second flu shot. The flu shot only gives you immunity for like 4-6 months i think? So if it runs out while it's still mid flu-season they might offer you another.</p> <p>ETA: I just saw LO got her first one only 2 months ago.. so i have no idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-flu-booster-shot#post-572577 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:47:33 +0000 mediagirl 572577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At our 6 month visit, our lo had her flu shot. My husband took her in today for a sick visit and the doctor told him she is eligible for the flu booster shot. I told him to go ahead and get it (I was in a meeting and couldn't ask further questions at the time). What exactly is the flu booster shot? Our lo is 8 months old now. </p>
