My kids get them every year, but this year I told my 5-yr-old he didn't have to have one; he had such an extreme reaction to his last shots...emotionally and physically. It was quite the drama. Now that I know he can get the nasal spray vaccine though, I may rethink that.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931977103376456107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-22235810869623642882008-09-25T09:32:00.000-05:002008-09-25T09:32:00.000-05:00I plan on getting a flu shot this year.

I, however, request a preservative free flu shot for my son. It does contain trace amounts of thermisol, but less than a regular flu vaccine. <BR/><BR/>I also get a flu shot at work (it's free). My doctor (and after doing additional research) tells me it is safe while nursing. Yes, I looked it up myself, because I have found that not all doctors are educated when it comes to nursing and what one should/shouldn't do.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13783085707283000645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609697803613641438.post-30805681029149387552008-09-24T19:55:00.000-05:002008-09-24T19:55:00.000-05:00In addition to the injectable TIV flu vaccine, the...In addition to the injectable TIV flu vaccine, the LAIV nasal spray vaccine is also available for those healthy children & adults age 2 to 49.Knight in Dragonlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631054320165156722noreply@blogger.com
