We go for them on the 26th. -------------------- Jackie - mama to Carly Evelyn (01-05-07) and Bride-to-Be (02-28-09)

Doctors state that MRSA is extremely difficult to treat while a child has the flu, and that deaths attributed to MRSA last year occurred in children who had the flu. -------------------- Ed is husband to Lisa (since 1983) Dad to Ricky, John, Erin and Kaitlin The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

The one and only time I did get one, I got the flu anyways. No flu any other time. -------------------- Jennie: mommy to two handsome little men, a crazy husband (TheOaf66), and two cats.

The 2 yrs I did get them like Jennie I got the flu anyway. DH has NEVER had one and has NEVER had the flu. On the other hand a good friend I grew up with, her 14 month old son didn't get one because she was over in Germany where her DH was stationed. Not sure if they don't do them there or what. Anyhow she came home to visit because her DH was in Iraq and she was lonely. Her son got the flu and passed away from it. This was a couple years ago but it was hard and it was a BIG back and forth thing for me. DH of course leaves it all up to me. In the end yes he is getting a flu shot. He had his first when he went for his 12 month shots, and he gets his 2nd Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving, because they have to be 4 weeks apart and didn't think about this....oh joy ).
