Answers:
get the shots for your entire family!.
influenza is VERY serious - even in young healthy people!.
there are no risks to the vaccine - in studies of adverse events, the only common adverse event is a sore shoulder!.
don't give it a second thought - get one every year!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Was it necessary for you to get the flu shot before!? If not, then it's probably not necessary now!.
I really hope your husband and you don't get one of the flu shots with 25 mcg of mercury, especially if you are breastfeeding!. All of the multi-dose vials contain 25 mcg of mercury per dose!. Insist on a single dose vial, previlled syringe, or the FluMist, although witth the FluMist there's a chance you or your husband could spread the flu to your daughter, because it is a live virus vaccine that replicates in your nose!.
Off topic, but Cami, why would you assume she is not breastfeeding now that her baby is one year old!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unless you want to get sick, I highly suggest you and your daughter get the flu shot!.
I'm sure there are some risks, because pretty much everything nowadays does, but I really doubt it's anything serious!.
The only side effect [that I know of] for people that have never had one before, is that they might get slight flu symptoms for about a week or so after getting it!. I forget why, but I think it's because your immune system has to get used to it!.
Before you get a flu shot the doctors explain everything to you and make you fill out a form, so just ask them any questions you have!. :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone should get flu shots unless they are allergic to something in the shot, or their doctor advises them not to get one due to an unusual medical condition!.
I get a flu shot every year!. My arm is sore for a few days, and I have some cold symptoms for a few days, but no problems otherwise!. I have not had the flu in over 25 years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well really it's only necessary for children and the elderly and the sick to get one!.Middle aged or people from18-60 are not at risk for a severe flu!.There is no risks only im allergic to the tape they use to stick on the cotton ball but that's me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You should!. Especially your daughter, now that she's a year and won't have your breast milk to strengthen her immune system!. I mean it's not nessecary but why not!? It increases your chances of not getting sick and being sick around your baby!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
