Yep, no silver bullet answer here. My immune system goes down with each flu shot. I don't get flu shots so I can fight them off more each year. I'd like to do the same for my daughter but she is higher risk with her asthma.

Do what you have to do for you and what you have to do for your kids. They may not always be the same answer.

I totally agree with tjlove. Talk to their pediatrician and then decide!

I really think the best thing to do is get information from their pediatrician and then make an informed decision that is best for your family.
