Flu Shot

Hi folks,
Just looking for opinions re flu shot for toddlers (my dd is 14 months old).
In Canada, they are recommending shots for kiddies 6 months to 23 months. I am on the fence...any thoughts?

I will be getting my DD the shot this year due to an immunodefeciency. I have never gotten one before due to the fact that she was not in daycare and not around many other kids. If she is in daycare I would deffinately get it it for her.

Hi everyone,
I bit the bullet and got the flu shot for my dd yesterday. The Dr said that she may get the sniffles or break a fever, but that the instance of even that is pretty low. So, I decided to go ahead. She wimpered for a couple of seconds when the needle went in, but that was it. No side effects so far...
The 2nd booster will be in a month.
Just thought I would let you know how it went!
