A member asked:
Do you have to give a four year old two flu shots if they did not receive a flu shot last year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The flu vaccine is seasonal, once a year, supposed to cover only the cold months. Each and every year might be slightly different, reflecting anticipated changes or mutations the virus undergoes from season to season.
