(To clarify - everybody gets the flu. If you're of normal health and strength, it just comes and goes. No problem. If you're elderly, or frail for some reason, I might consider the shot.)
Oh, and, congratulations!
(Still looking for a "stitches and broken bones" shot.)

Thanks!
Flandababe is no longer in daycare. The Ped wants to administer the flu shot at the upcoming 9 month vaccine appt? My concern, in the rare event there was a reaction, how could we ever tell what the reaction was to? Also, not exactly jumping on the bandwagon to introduce a smorgus borgus of chemicals into the poor little guy.
