If your child is in school for 3 hours I would for sure get it.. So many kids get sick cuz of other kids in schools! I had worked in a school and they want alll teachers to get the shot cuz the kids pass it on soooo fast!!!!
My son is 10 months old.. I got him his shot and he will get it every year!!! Me and my older son have got our shot for the last 7 years.. my husband has got his the last 5 years....
I know my sisters family has never gotten theirs. and every year they eater 1 or all get sick.. I just dont want to chance it.. I got sick about 8 years ago and it was bad!!!! I have never been that sick since getting the shot..
but do stress your son wash his hands more the flu season!!! And when he gets home from school have him clean up.. maybe change his shirt even!
