Thoughts on flu vaccine?
I keep getting reminders to get my 2 and a half year old. At first I thought it was not necessary and ignored it but they send so many reminders so now I’m thinking twice. She is generally healthy but does go to nursery and has a tendency to catch what’s going.
Has your child had it and any side effects?

We’re feeling the same too!
My partner said we didn’t have this as kids so doesn’t want her to have it.
I’m not too fussed either way!
So tricky x
I always get it for myself and don’t see why he shouldn’t get it - I’d rather reduce the risk as we’ll get ill from various other viruses a lot already
Mine had it a few weeks ago, it was really quick to administer and he’s had no side effects.
My little boy was hospitalised last winter with 4 infections including 2 types of flu and RSV so I’m grateful to give him anything that will help build immunity and in turn protect others too.
He had the flu vaccine 3 weeks ago with no issues and no side effects. It’s a nasal vaccine, so a quick squirt up each nostril and it was job done.
My son got the vaccine this year because last xmas me, my partner, my toddler and our the 7 week old got Flu aw and RSV.
Trust me when I say you dont want to see your young kids with Flu or RSV. It was horrible, we were in and out of hospital with terrible vitals and vomiting blood, and extreme weight loss from lack of appetite.
It was truely a horrifying
