I am hearing the flu is pretty nasty this year, I haven't had my kids get the shot this year, but I am thinking about it. I don't usually because my son is allergic to eggs, and there is egg in the vax, the doctors always leaves the decision up to me. I think this year, it is hitting the young really hard, and the benefits may out weigh the potential reaction. I had H1N1 when I was pregnant with my son, and survived.. but I can't imagine my kids getting that sick.
