A member asked:
Does my toddler needs a second dose of flu shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: During the 1st season a toddler gets a flu shot, a 2nd dose a month later is recommended. This is an effort to boost the initial immune response. In the later years (after that 1st) a booster in not considered helpful. It is a myth that the shot wears off after a few months.
