A member asked:
What to do if i have the flu. my son who is 1 received the flu vaccine earlier this year. is he immune to catching it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: The flu vaccine protects form up to 3 strains at a time so if your flu is one of these the kid is likely protected.There are other strains that you could pick up and pass to him if it was not present in the vaccine.
