[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in my 30s never have gotten the flu shot and I've never once had the flu. You can't force her[/quote] Yes I can actually, until she's 18 I can. [/quote] Actually, you can't. You won't find a single medical practicioner that will forcibly administor non-life-saving medical care on a teenager. Not one. The age of consent in most states is around 14-16. While she may be a minor, she still has control over her own body. It's just the same as if you tried to make her get a tattoo. While you may think it's what is best for her, that's a matter of your opinion. The flu shot is reccomended for small children, the elderly, health care workers, child care workers and those in confined populations (military, prison, etc) There is NO blanket recc for normal healthy adults who don't fall into those categories and are therefore not at increased risk. I'm a physician[/quote]
