Hi everyone!
Moms (and Dads!), I need your advice!
My son is 10 months old, and his doctor said that he wants him to get 2 rounds of the flu vaccine in October, 2 rounds of the swine flu vaccine in November, and the MMR and chicken pox vaccines in December (at his 1-year check-up).
Doesn't that sound excessive---two vaccines a month for the next three months?
I'm thinking of just doing the MMR and chicken pox vaccines at this 1-year check-up and skipping the flu and H1N1 vaccines. I'm especially leery of the H1N1 vaccine as it's brand new and the side-effects are still unknown. But...I'm really conflicted about this and could use some advice.
May I ask if you guys are doing the flu vaccine and the H1N1 vaccine? I'm so torn about what to do, so any advice is much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
