We have an appointment next thursday for me and both boys to get it. DH has to get it for work. He works in a hospital, so I figure it's better safe than sorry with all the things he could bring home from work.

DH and I aren't, but we are getting one for DD... I was hesitant at first, but I babysit kids who are constantly getting sick, so I decided I'd get her one.

Nope - my DS is allergic to egg whites, so I he can't get the flu shot, although DH and I will get the vaccine so we don't get sick and pass it on to DS.
I'm a nurse and DH is a paramedic, so with the chances of one of us bringing something home, we will all be getting it. And I don't think it's two parts for the LOs in Canada.
Yep, all three of us will be getting it. Plus DH and I got the pertusis vaccine. And my parents will be getting it because they take care of DS pretty often.(and they are "old") Not only do I get it every year, because I have to, but I have gotten it every year since I was 17 and have never gotten the flu. Hope the same goes for this year.
Yes, we all are. My DS goes to preschool, I'm sure he will be exposed to it at some point this winter, so I'm just trying to prevent all of us from getting sick.
normally no because i've never gotten the flu but this year i'm pregnant and on little sleep and ds got the h1n1 flu last year while i was pregnant but thankfully we caught it early so the drugs worked fast and i took the meds for prevention and didn't get it. So i think i'll have ds and me get it this year but not anyone else.
I am pregnant and will get the flu shot since I work in HR and am around sick people a lot (shaking hands, talking to people, etc). DH is a SAHD so the kids are not in daycare. We homeschool so our kids are not in school. We do have a Homeschool Group that we do things with but most parents are good about not coming if they or their kids are sick.
If we get sick, I am usually the one to bring it home. We use lots of soap and water at our house!

DD2 has already had her first dose and will go back for the booster in four weeks (since it's her first flu shot, it's two doses). DD1 has an appointment the same day to get hers.
I'll probably get mine at Target or something while I'm out, and DH's company has people come to the office to administer them.
Re: Is your LO getting a flu shot?
Nope. None of us are.
Flame away.
DH and I aren't, but we are getting one for DD... I was hesitant at first, but I babysit kids who are constantly getting sick, so I decided I'd get her one.
This! But replace DS for DD
Not if I can help it.
I won't be, DH will be.
DH wants her to, I don't. I'm hoping I win.
Currently she is BF, does not go to daycare and is on daily probiotics.
I only got the flu shot 1x in my life that I can remember and that was while pregnant so that Lucy would have immunity.
This, exactly.
No.
