I know flu season is coming up- my daughter is almost 3, and she has always gotten the flu shot seasonally since she was about 6 months old. This year, her father isn’t letting her get one because “she doesn’t have any vaccinations scheduled until she’s 4” which is well over a year and a half away. Is there any harm in him not allowing her to get vaccinated for this after she’s regularly had the shot the last two years, or should I push that she get the influenza vaccine again this year regardless of what the pediatrician he takes her to says? She’s just starting preschool, as well as switched pediatricians recently, and I don’t want her to get sick since she seems to pick up every bug or virus around her. Thanks!
