Unless your child has a compromised immune system, it's not a big deal.

No you don't. You might get sick, it might even be a terrible cold, but it isn't the flu.

Yes. I. Do. 
It's quite odd that you keep telling me what has and has not happened to me. I have been a nanny for 15 years. In those 15 years, I've had the flu shot 3 times. During those 3 flu seasons, I caught the flu. The other 7 years, I skipped the flu shot and did not get the flu. 
I am in no way claiming that the shot caused my illness. I am definitely pro-vaccination. In my experience, getting the flu shot does not 100% prevent flu. It was absolutely Influenza. I've had a cold and food poisoning before...the flu feels ENTIRELY different.[/quote]

Surrrreee. :roll:

Nanny, there is more than one person who doubts your claims about the flu. I posted one and at least one person agrees, maybe two or three.

So stop thinking you are being maligned by one poster telling you anything. There are several people disagreeing with your posts and some of us think that the advice you are giving OP to be dangerous. And since in your follow up, you admit that you don't even think the flu was caused by the flu shot, you are especially irresponsible to suggest anyone skip the benefits of the flu shot because you apparently have the unbelievable, coincidental luck of getting an unrelated virus on the years you got the shot.

So, grow thicker skin, buy a lottery ticket, and stop posting ignorant advice unless you expect to be challenged.[/quote][/quote]
