OK. Did not get the small people vaccinated for the flu. Called our doctor's office yesterday and they're out of vaccine. I gather I am far from the only one in this predicament.

Depends on the age of the kids. If they are 6 mo. - 2 years, then you should be able to find a vaccine from Kaiser, PAMF, etc. But those with supplies are rationing and won't give it to non-high risk, i.e. kids over the age of 2.
The nasal spray is more widely available (for a price) but the kids have to be at least 5.
If yours don't fit either group, then don't sweat it, but at least discuss antivirals; supportive therapy with the pediatrician if they get the flu.
