Should our family receive a flu vaccine? The answer is almost always yes. The flu vaccine can be given to practically anyone over the age of 6 months--its no longer limited to people who are elderly or have specific medical conditions. The good news is that in most states you can easily get the flu vaccine at your pharmacy. The vaccine changes every year, so getting vaccinated annually is important. And just to be clear, its impossible to get the flu from the vaccine. Some people have mild reactions, such as soreness at the injection site or aches or a low-grade fever, but those things are not flu. Theyre short-lived and mild, mot anywhere near the full-fledged flu, which makes you feel as if youve been hit by a train. Thanks again WebMD, as this is good information for all of our families at Nannyshare USA in order to be able to make an informed decision. We at our agency think that the flu mist vaccine works wonders and spares any child the actual needle/shot. Ask your pediatrician pharmacist about it today and if they offer that option. Pain free is good!
