[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which flu? Stomach or influenza? The throw ups, NFW![/quote] Regardless, with a toddler, I wouldn’t risk it. The (actual influenza) strain that is not being covered well by this year’s vaccine is especially hard on children. As stated already, thank aunt for her honesty, and make plans to visit another time. Flu is no joke. If you’ve ever actually had it, you know that it goes way beyond the bad cold that everyone complains is the flu. [/quote] +1. And flu is more dangerous for babies and toddlers, as it is for the elderly. Don't expose your child to it. The flu shot, even in years when it's less effective because it doesn't target strains in circulation, does still confer some protection and can lessen duration if a vaccinated person still gets flu; however, you still should not expose your child even if he's has the shot. Ain't can disinfect like crazy but I still wouldn't go. [/quote]
