Every year we have the flu shot question -- to get one or not to get one.

My child is 4 and I did get one when she was very young. She got one, too, I believe. But not in the past couple of years, for either of us.

Are these a good idea? I don't like the idea, but can't really articulate it. My mother always pushes for us to do it.

Seems like they used to say 2 and younger should have them, but now I hear five and under?? And what about moms getting them? What do you smart women out there think?

I get them. And, I have my 2 1/2 year old get one. To date, he and I have not gotten the flu while so many around us have suffered the flu.

So, I am a big fan of flu shots. And, I get them at a local pharmacy or urgent care. It is less expensive as the flu shot runs about $10 and my Doctor's co-pay runs $25.00.

I just got the Flu Shot a week ago, and I just naturely get one, when I visit my Doctor, I never got one before, until I went thru My Chemo, and it more or less was required, since our immune system was low, and now that thats all over with, and I'm a 2 Yr. survivor, I just get one.lol Only this yr, it made my arm Real sore for about 3 days.. Don't like that LOL.
