I have only gotten it when I was a Nanny because it was required for the position and when I was doing my ECE placement, again it was a requirement. Both times I got sick where as other years when I didn't get the shot I did not get sick. I won't be getting it. Neither will my husband.

However, I am still contemplating whether or not I should give it to my daughter this year. She just turned 1. I don't plan on giving it to her after this year for sure but they say that children in the first few years of life are at greater risk for complications due to the flu.

Does anyone have any advice for me?
