Should kids aged 7 and 9 get the flu injection ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: The intradermal flu vaccine should be given to those above 18 years of age; however, the regular flu shot, which goes into muscle, can be used in kids 6 months and up, and FluMist can be used in kids aged 2 years and up. Cdc recommends nearly everyone 6 months and up get a flu vaccine annually.
