Our pediatrician told us we needed to decide if we wanted to give LO a flu shot at her next appointment this month. She'll be 6 months old on the 18th. I have nothing against the flu shot but I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do.
Did you get your LO the flu shot this year? Why or why not?

Yes, it was two doses. I just go along with my pediatrician's recommendations.

Yes, because my husband has Cystic Fibrosis and the flu could kill him. I'm not sure I would if that wasn't the case. We do the flu shots separate from other shots.

Absolutely, we were flying, so we got both doses very early in the season. Not worth the risks for us!

My LO got it. He's had some respiratory illness in the past and we were worried that the flu would be a lot harder on him because of that.

Yes we did b/c the flu can be pretty dangerous for little babies. They split it up into two doses for babies, so they don't get a full dose at ones. Our baby reacted just fine to the vaccine, so I'm sure we'll do it again in future years.

Yes, we did. I always get the flu shot so of course I got one for my LO.

I absolutely trust our ped 110% and they have not been pushy about anything. When he told is we absolutely should give her the flu shot because of the ramifications if we didn't we had no hesitation to.

Nope. My ped said it wasnt necessary unless she was in daycare.
