Flu shots?!
Question: My daughter always gets sick several times throughout the winter season and this year, I've been doing the same thing. We keep taking turns. I've never had flu shots (other than when I was pregnant) and my daughter hasn't either, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe BOTH of us should. (She will be 3 years old in April.) Do you think getting flu shots will help us not get so sick? I know it won't PREVENT us from getting sick, but will it help make it milder?

I have never had a flu shot in my life that I know of and I havent been sick in over 10 years.
She might be too young for a flu shot, you need to ask your doctor.
As for you, I think everyone should get a flu shot especially if you are in contact with a lot of people.
You and your daughter should get the flu shot. The stories about it making you sick is false. I had to start getting them 4 years ago. I have diabetes. I haven't had the flu since. I have had colds but not the flu.
I never get flu shots and I never get sick. Work on improving your immune systems.
Flu shots (as with all vaccines) can have debilitating side effects.
Dr. Mercola's site has lots of info on flu shots.
