Flu shots

Is anyone getting their baby the flu shot? I haven't gotten one for Elijah yet, he's three. BUT then again we were in Korea most of his life and there was only three or four cases of swine flu there. I don't know whether I want to get it for them this year or not...

Iris got her first dose of the killed virus at her 9 month appt, an she'll get the second one in a week. As with all her other shots, the only thing I noticed is that she slept a little more than usual but I don't know if it's because of the shots or just being at the doctors office (don't know, maybe it tires her)

Idk if we will or not. Her ped hasn't discussed her getting the flu shot yet. I assume he will around her birthday. If he says it would be a good idea, I trust his judgment. I did get one while I was pregnant, and the side effects weren't so bad.
