J.P.
Sara I had a little girl whom was very sick at christmas time and I was also a stay at home mom and I was told by my ped doctor that if she was mainly at home that my husband and I and grandparents (anyone who would have a lot of contact with her should get one and she would be ok. the next year I got her one and she didn't have any problems but all children react differently so you just need to go with how you feel. I do know how ever that the flu is already going around and it is nasty. My son and my family has already got it thank goodness my daughter hasn't but beware its out already. I wish you the best in your decision.
