Flu shots
We are headed to Mexico The 1st week of November and I completely forgot to get my kids their flu shots. I am taking them tonight when I get off of work but I just realized that the baby (9 months) will need hers in 2 doses with 4 weeks in between doses. Did I screw up big time? I was already super nervous about taking 3 kids on a plane to a different country for so many other reasons and now I have something new to worry about =(

Re: Flu shots
I am waiting for a call back. Just figured I would ask to calm my nerves in the meantime.

Re: Flu shots
I feel like having the first dose is better than nothing.
Talk to your doctor though

I was going to say this too, but confirm with the doctor.
Don’t worry they will be fine and your other kid(s) are getting it. Last year I did the same thing. I dragged my feet and then my son got sick. By the time he got better we were going to Greece, actually 1st week of Nov. too. It was too close (days apart) so I had to wait till we came back because I didn’t want to take the chance he would be sick in Greece from the flu shot.

Unless you're going to cancel the trip (which I would not) there is no point in worrying. Not much you can do now. Go, enjoy, and don't worry about it.
