I remember reading that it takes a week for the shot to kick in & help fight off the flu. I would call his dr though & see what they have to say about him getting one.
I'm so sorry your babies are sick!! That is worse then you being sick....at least for me it is!
Sending get well vibes your way!! It seems that where I'm at they aren't getting the shot anywhere till almost Thanksgiving! I got mine at my college on Friday though! They wouldn't let my daughter get one though since she's not a student, so I'm hoping to find one somewhere for her before Thanksgiving!
