A member asked:

Is it okay for the pediatrician to give my 6 month old baby the flu shot?

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 will run out of my supply for this age group in a week or two.
