Yes, influenza (flu) can cause babies to need hospitalization and can kill adults and children. In the last two flu seasons almost 200 children died from influenza. Last flu season, 90% of those deaths were children not vaccinated against the flu. It's a no brainer for me.

absolutely! anything to prevent serious illness

Yes. 100000% yes

Thank you!

My little one had the flu shot yesterday and is doing fine. If say yes 100%

My daughter has had the flu shot one time & got so sick from it, that was the first and last time. Never again has she had a flu shot & she’s been totally fine. If she’s Gna get sick, I’d rather her get it naturally than injecting her & getting sick anyway. I don’t get the flu shot either for this reason.

Do it, don’t be a spreader. It will save them from having it much worse one day. I do recommend making sure you have some baby Tylenol on hand tho, my little had a very low grade fever on and off for 24 hours after but the Tylenol made it all better.

We did flu shot with his 6 month vaccines. Flu shot for infant is 2 shot series 1 month apart. He’ll get his next one in October and get RSV vaccine at that time as well!
