T.N.
I do most of the normal immunizations for my children, but do NOT do the flu shot. The benefit doesn't outweigh the risk in my mind. It's basically a convenience vaccination, and as a SAHM it's not necessary for me since I don't have to worry about taking days off work. My kids are very healthy and rarely get sick. We just try to eat healthy, stay active, and drink lots of water. And this time of year especially, I have my kids constantly wash their hands (before eating, after playing at the park, after going out in public). That's the best prevention there is.
