What are the risks of the flu shot for my toddler and preteen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flu Shot: There really are no "risks" to getting the flu vaccine, unless allergic to components. The risks of getting the vaccine definitely outweigh risks of the bad things that can happen if you get the flu.The flu vaccine cannot give you the flu. The flu is a sudden onset of fever, body aches, cough, and other respiratory symptoms (not vomiting/diarrhea).It has been bad this year. Still time to get it!
