I have a soon to be 4 year old and a 6 year old and I can't decide whether to get the vaccine or not. When both my kids were smaller, they did get the flu shot once. They both got really sick afterward for a few days...I just get so nervous because my 6 year old is in school now and I worry about what illnesses he may get from other children. Since the H1N1 came out, we all wash our hands constantly and I explain to them how important it is to cover your mouth and nose when they cough or sneeze. I am also a HUGE fan of the Clorox wipes. When we go to the store, I wipe the carts down with the wipes and spray Lysol on them as well. You can never be too careful! I really need to get more info on the vaccine before I decide..Everyone stay healthy and happy!!! |
