A member asked:
Should my baby get the flu shot every year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: The flu vaccine is an important part of the preventive care for children as well as adults. The younger the child (infants) the more serious influenza can be. If everyone were to get vaccinated for the flu there would be less influenza illnesses and deaths.
