flu shots

What are you doing about flu shots for your LO's this year? DH and I both got ours, but we're not sure if we want to have DD get one. She was covered last year, as I got mine when I was still pg. I'm kind of torn. What are the November moms doing?

Re: flu shots
DS had too, as a preemie he'll need it every year. But just wanna share that for infants it's 2 shots a month apart. And luckily DS didn't have a rection to either.
11.2011 - DS1
02.2013 - loss at 6 wks
06.2014 - DS2
10.2015 - loss at 12 wks
03.2017 - DD
We all get them. I already got mine and the girls will get their's on Monday. I usually have to "suprise" DH with his, the man is terrified of needles!
my read shelf:
DD got round one last month and will get her second one during her one year check up at the end of the month. DH and I got ours when she got her first round. As PP stated, they usually get two the first year (or 2? don't remember) they receive it. It was by far the easiest shot she's ever received, she didn't even cry and she has a low pain threshold like her mama
DS got his at his one year appointment. He goes back at the beginning of December to get the second part.
Of course, he cried pretty bad but was over it 5 minutes later and had absolutely no reaction (to the vaccinations either).
I figured I would much much rather deal with 2 or 3 minutes of freaking out crying than a toddler with the flu.

DS got his 1st round at 9 months & 2nd round at 10 months.
DH got his at work...I still need to get mine, though.

What is it that worries you about giving LO the flu shot?
DH and I both got the flu earlier this year, and it was miserable. We are all getting our shots at LO's one year appointment. I see no reason not to, since it doesn't do any harm and may potentially have a huge benefit.
