Flu shots?

rottie06

So are you going to get flu shots this year?  What about for you LO?  I am pretty sure I will get one soon but not sure what to do for my 11 month old.

Definitely. Between DH and I teaching and DD being in daycare, I'm not willing to risk it. We got ours at work and DD got hers in September at the pedi. It's worth it for us, but obviously it's not for everyone. My parents never get it and they never get sick.

DS got his already and DH and I will be getting ours soon.

All Childrens Hosp employees must get one or you get fired (unless you have a proven allergy etc) so DH and I definatly got ours:) DD got hers the pedi @ her 15 month appointment.

Allie already got hers at the pedi.  DH and I may skip it.  Although, I'd love to visit TTT's new baby, so I may be forced into submission

HA!  I'll even take you to Kroger, pay for it, and my mom will personally stick you in the arm!

You all know where I stand.  We've all received ours, weeks ago.

The kids are getting theirs next week. I've never had one and don't see that changing anytime soon.

Good because I really only want O and A to hang out with Will.i.am, anyway.

DD already got the flu mist.  I get my shot at work, and DS will get his at school.  We need to pay to get DH's.  I am exposed to some of the worst cases at work, so I like the whole family to get the vaccine.  If someone gets the flu, I would feel horrible guilt knowing that I am probably the one who brought the virus home.

We all got them last week (free through DH's work).

The odds are in my favor that I won't get sick. I've had my fill of bad luck and it's gonna be smooth sailing from here...if I say it enough times will it sound sincere?

You know the way my luck's been, if I were to get the shot I'd probably get the one strain it didn't protect against.

Bitter, party of one...bitter, party of one.

Oh, and feel free to come get A whenever is convenient for you. Her bags are packed and she'll be lucky if she survives the rest of the week.

DH, Justin and I all got one.  Tyler is 13 months old, but he did not get one because he is allergic to eggs.  (All the more reason for the rest of us to get one, to protect him.)

Moesten

All of us have already gotten ours. Well, not DS since he is only 2 months old but DH, DD, and I already received ours. DS will get his when he turns 6 months.

I got mine last week at work, and K will probably get hers on Friday since it'll finally be a Friday when I don't have a million other things to do.

ETA: and I have encouraged DH to get one, but I don't know if he will.  He's gotten one the past couple of years but never before that.  He probably will if I keep pushing it. 

mrs.george2be04

I got mine last week.  I work in a medical office so they put the smackdown on that.  I'm planning on getting Logan's soon.  H won't get one, he never does.  He works for an online school so at least now his exposure to germy kids is minimal.

Superchicy

DD got hers at her 12 mo. appt, DH and I both got ours a work.  The one year I skipped I got the flu, so I'm pretty diligent about it, especially now with DD>

Mrs_D_in_KY

DS got his the other day at his 9 month check up and I stopped at Kroger on my way home to get mine.

For DH & I there really is no reason not to get ours, since we get them free through DH's insurance.
