Hi Woohoo
Here is my answer on the truth. Do your own research on anything you truely want to know though. DOnt take my word on what I say.
FLU CHILDREN VACCINE
Dr. Hugh Fundenburg, one of the most quoted biologist of our time, says that if an individual has 5 consecutive flu shots his/her chance of developing Alzheimer's Disease is 10 times greater than if they had 1, two or no shots. What it will do to babies given year after year is anyone’s guess and that is exactly what it is, a guess, an experiment for no one knows, for there have been no tests. Clearly no longitudinal study has been made with babies on the effect of giving annual flu shots starting from six months of age. With an already heavy childhood immunization schedule already in place, and with children already carrying increasingly heavy burdens of toxins, including mercury administered through other vaccines, it’s a crap shoot gamble on what will happen to the children under the CDC’s rule with the addition of the flu vaccine that contains thimerosal. Most pediatric flu shots contain 12.5 mcg. of mercury. According to EPA guidelines for ingested (vs. injected) methylmercury (vs. ethylmercury) not likely to cause harm in adults, an infant or young child would need to weigh 275 pounds to receive this injection for it to be considered safe.
Best of health to you and your family.
Cheers

I am a full believer when it comes to immunisations and shots. It is part of keeping your child healthy and another way of preventing them getting sick. Serious flu can actually be fatal. The highest at risk are children and the elderly. Although your child is healthy now, you'll have peace of mind if they do have a flu shot that you are preventing them from getting sick and looking after their health and well being.

No. A healthy child will not need a flu shot.

Flu is not a nice thing, but I think the hysteria over getting vaccinated against it is just silly. Many people GET the flu as a RESULT of the shot....so no....I don't recommend it.

Only if they have had the flu in previous years. If not, does anyone in your household get the flu every year? If yes, then protect your child.

they won't give your healthy 5 year old child a flu shot. they only give it to the elderly and extremely ill.

I don't vaccinate my son due to past reactions & I would never give him a flu shot. It all depends on how you feel about vaccinations. There are just to many chemicals in vaccinations for young children to handle.

My kids have never gotten the flu vaccine. They have never had the flu either and they do attend preschool and kindergarten.
Ask you dr--but it is really your choice.
You can get sick with the flu shot or sick without it.

5 year olds are exposed to many germs/viruses in the classroom etc.
Their immune systems are not as good as ours -yet.
Just because he's healthy now doesn't mean a thing.
Take him to his pediactric doctor and be on the safe side. Why take chances?
