She has had diabetes for 8 years and has had a flu shot every year. The doctors office decided just to give it to chronically ill children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old. Why is my daughter's health not important?

One of the few wise doctors I've come across.
Do NOT get vaccinated.
A vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.
There are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.
Just sit back and think for a while.
Is there any sense in injecting a disease directly into the bloodstream.
We have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.

If you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at
http://www.vaclib.org/exemption.htm
You will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.

If you need a cure for diabetes, then try to get hold of a copy of Hulda Clark's 'A Cure For All Diseases'

My hunch is that it has more to do with the availability of flu vaccine than anything. Although there isn't supposed to be a shortage this year, the pharmaceutical companies are distributing partial shipments to providers, which means they have to make decisions as to who should get the vaccine first. Moreover, the CDC has recommended that only those at "highest risk" be given the vaccine before October 24. Your doctor has probably decided that the little ones (under 5) are more vulnerable to the flu than your older child, even though she has diabetes. If you check back with the doctor later and they have more vaccine available, I would also guess that your chronically ill child would be more likely to receive the vaccine than children without chronic illness... if they have vaccine available to them.

Every medical professional has a right to make the decision of who they wish to treat and how. You cannot force anyone to do any particular treatment if in their judgement they do not feel they should. Ask what the reasoning is, and if you still want to get a flu shot for example, get a second practitioner to give one.

Did you ask the doctor why she is not able to get the shot? It is not illegal for a doctor to refuse to give your child the shot if he has a limited supply but if he is refusing her just to refuse her then yes. You need to find out what the reason was he refused her.

don't worry too much about it.
you can probably still get a flu shot for her, but in all honesty, flu shots wont totally protect her from getting the flu anyway... viruses mutate, and just because she got a flu shot, she could get a different strain of flu, or still get a bad cold or any number of other viruses....
they give the vaccines to the youngest population as they are the ones most likely to die if they were to get a bad case of the flu.
i dont personally even get a flu shot, as i think they are more for the true at risk populations, and your daughter probably is not in that population, even with her diabetes.

Yes, depending on the illness the child has, it could do more harm than good. That is why when you take your child to be immunized, they always ask (at least where I take my child) if they have been running a fever, been sick, or diagnosed with certain illnesses.

Probably, if in his opinion the shot will harm the child, or not do any good.

Maybe the doctor feels it is dangerous for the child.

Your daughter will be fine, as they get older so do their immune systems, the younger ones need it more for that reason.
