Flu shot?

CLAYLIOVERCLAYLIOVER

So the girls are 6 month old and it seems like everything I read says GET A FLU SHOT. I asked my pulmonologist last week and he told me I certainly didnt have too as it is pretty much the end of flu season. My pedi never mentioned it either. I'm not really sure what I should do. Do I push them to give them one or just trust what the pulmonologist told me?

    We had her get it.  She was 6 months in January (last year) so we had a longer period of cold and flu season left plus being up north we don't really break out of winter until Mid April.  Also it was the h1n1 crazy year as well.

    Andrew just got his first one last month (end of Jan) and had his second one yesterday.  I was also kind of surprised b/c I thought the season was almost over, but his pedi said to do it so I did.

    Our pedi told us to get one just a couple weeks ago.  She said they are just starting to see the flu full force so we got one.  He will get the second one in a few weeks.

    Jack has gotten one dose and will get the second next week. Our pedi said that flu season is the worst during Feb/March. I figure it doesn't hurt either way, YKWIM?
