Has anyone given their kids the flu shot? I gave my son last year but I dont know if we give this year. So many people say that there is no need to give, while others say yes. Whats your opinion?
Vaccines are administered for the purpose of helping prevent illness and disease so I think it would be better for your son to get a flu shot this year as his shot last year may have already expired. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. And remember, the flu vaccine is chicken based so make sure that your son is not allergic to chicken or eggs so there will be no allergic reaction:)
There is pro and cons for the flu vaccine. I always got cold and suffered every year until I started using the flu vaccine. So I’m kind of immunized to viral cold now. However it’s a different behavior for my daughter who is 3 years now but she was given the flu vaccine when she was around 1 year old according to the vaccine chart. She never had a cold before but after giving her the flu vaccine she had running nose the next day and cold every week. It was very difficult for us. I then researched the flu vaccine and found out that the source for making the flu vaccine is chicken egg. And my daughter was allergic to egg. We went back to the same doctor at Al-ahli to explain that this is the cause of my daughter suffering but the doctor did not agree since science does not reason and only looks at the facts. However the flu vaccine lasted for about 18 months and then my daughter was back to normal. Since then I have not given her the flu vaccine.
Conclusion: Do the research before any vaccine shot and know the person history.

how are the kids supposed to develop natural immunity ?
Every year there is a campaign for givin the flu shot to the kids at many places.
Its just to make sure the kids are safe from any viral diseases.
Even for the Adults they give this flu shot, but i have not taken it - coz i am scared of the needles...:(
