You do need to wait a month, but going a couple days either before of after I would think is okay (our daughter will actually get hers about a month and 8 days after her first). They have to have two because they are given a different form of the shot (it's inactive virus rather than the active) and they can not give as large of a dose. I would talk to your doctor and see if you can get it any earlier to help you out. Good Luck though!!!

I think it has to be at least a month so I would say wait until after your trip or have him vaccinated on the trip. It shouldn't be hard to find a place to give him a flu shot if you are in a first world country on your trip.
