So i am the type of parent that is pro vaccinations. And when my dr list off the round of shots, i hear him, but I'm more thinking about getting it done and over with. Today, he listed off a few vaccines, including the flu shot, for my 4 month old son. Now, i remember my daughter getting her flu shot when she was an infant, so i just nodded and held my baby boys hand.
Hours later, i decided to look up flu shot side effects in infants and was shocked to see that it should not have been given to him before he turned 6months old. What the *!@? Now I'm pissed and embarrassed and feeling guilty. I now remember that my daughter got it in dec (when she was 6m). It's late and the drs is long passed closed now. They'll be getting a call in the morning. But, anyone else have any experience with this?
