A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my 6 month old baby got a flu shot today, is it safe for him ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe-yes: This vaccine is delayed to 6 months because it is thought the maternal antibodies baby gets from you during pregnancy would otherwise weaken the benefit.It is a safe and effective product. I ran out of my supply for this age group a few weeks ago.
