[quote=Anonymous]Your nanny is not at a "higher risk of flu" because she has not gotten the shot, nor is your daughter at a higher risk if she has had the shot herself. Yes, many nannies (and other professionals who work with children and the immuno-compromised) get the flu vaccine every year as standard practice. It is unlikely to affect your daughter, however, if your nanny does not. Anecdotally, I have been a nanny and health care professional for 10 years. Some years I get the vaccine, some years I don't. There has never been a correlation between a decreased incidence of flu and the vaccine, in my experience. There are too many strains out there to protect against everything. [/quote]
