About half of all children got a flu vaccine during the 2010 to 2011 flu season, keeping up the high flu vaccine levels following the swine flu epidemic. What do you do each year? Do you get your kids a flu vaccine? What Are You Going To Do?

Any side effects

I would like to know the side effects post vaccination?

You Bet

As a school nurse, I see too many kids out with the flu each year to think about skipping out on getting my own kids the flu vaccine each year. This year, they got their regular flu vaccine a few months ago and they recently got their first dose of H1N1 (both as nasal sprays).
