If your child was autistic, would you give them the flu shot?

Yes: There is no reason not to give a child with autism a flu shot. The only possible reason to not give a child a flu shot is if the child has an allergy to the shot or if it becomes too difficult to give the child a shot or a nasal spray ( an alternative used in young children).

Yes: There are no studies to show any extra reactions in children with autism receiving flu shots.

Without Question: There are no questions that the vaccine is safe. An autistic child tends to have much greater negative effects of the infection itself, than any possible problems with the vaccine.
