  no no flu shot here.
  there is nothing that PROVES that you would have gotten the flu if you DIDNT get the shot. i havent gotten the flu in like 9 years if not more, and i havent gotten the shot that long either. You usually gET the flu or a fever or diahrea or any other sickness when you get the shot. i see it as pointless.

  Yes, my daughter had the flu shot last year and she will have it again this year. I did tons of research last year (called the CDC, her doctor, books, etc) and decided that it was best for her to have it.
  
  I feel that if I do not allow her to get the shot and she gets seriously ill this year I will blame myself.

  i personally don't get the flu shot neither does my husband.
  i did get a flu shot for my daughter last winter because at the time we were spending 1 or 2 nights a week with my husband's 90 year old grandmother who gets the flu in the wintertime.
  since we are no longer spending the night with her i won't be getting the shot for my daughter.

  You read my mind by bringing up this topic. I ran a post on my ToddlerBuzz (http://www.cafemom.com/dailybuzz/toddler/131/Do_You_Do_the_Flu_Shot) blog about this very thing. According to a poll, most moms are not going to get the shot for their toddler.
