Summer, It is a personal decision. I am a severe asthmatic and high risk, so I get the shot. My dd got the flu that killed many children in So. California when she was 16 months old. It was the first time she had ever been sick and ran 104-105 for almost 10 days. (she is a high fever runner). She had had the flu shot. I shudder to think how sick she might have been.
My son is 10 months old and high risk due to a heart condition. But. . . it is likely he is allergic to eggs and cannot get the flu vaccine this year. While we spent a lot of time out, I am an obsessive hand washer and do not let others touch my young babes - EVER! I am hoping that these two things will keep him well. He has not been sick yet - crossing my fingers.
