Guest guest Posted October 8, 2001 Report Share Posted October 8, 2001 I think our local Health Dept. will give the shots as long as there is no fever. I guess it depends on how involved the cold is? I know they won't give it if there is a chance that you've already caught the flu. Sorry not to be more helpful! ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Usually they do not give them the flu shot when they are sick, even with w cold, sorry. S. flu shots > I will call the CF doctor in the morning but I wondered if anyone knew if there is any concern in giving the flu shot to a little one with a cold.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'm afraid due to the preservatives and have not had it given to my child. We do the best we can to stay healthy without it.Sent from my iPad I'd be interested in hearing people's opinions on giving the flu shot to our kids with autism Sent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 The reason that I am asking is that I read that they made one without the thirmerosal. I did get a flu shot this year-for the first time-mainly to protect Blake. But on the sheet that they gave me that listed information about the shot, it mentioned that there is one without thirmerosal. So I am just wondering if anyone has given their child that one. Blake hasn't had a vaccine of any kind in over 15 years, but he is very close quarters with the others in his class, and I noticed that sometimes they come to school a little ill. I did an activity with his class recently, I probably got a cold from one of the students. Anyway, just wondering... > > >The flu shot has extremely high levels of thirmerosal?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 The flu shot is one of the worst vaccines you can give anyone but especially those on the spectrum with weakened immune systems. It is full of mercury!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 If you are giving correct dosages of vit. c and vit. D3 then you will be able to fight off colds and the flu.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 My 2 boys and I got our flu shots last Saturday. I was not aware of the egg allergy, and this was the first time we had ever gotten the flu shots. My 2 boys had their flu shot at the pediatrician's office and the nurse never asked if either child had an egg allergy. I went to Walgreens the same day for my own flu shot, and I was given a general pamphlet with the egg allergy information on it, but I was never asked directly if I had an egg allergy. My oldest child (11) and I did not have a reaction to the shot, but my youngest child (8) got a bad headache and fever about 8 hours later. That was Saturday, and yesterday he was still feeling poorly. No fever, just felt 'yucky'. Don't know if it was from the shot, or simply a coincidence from something he picked up at school.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 You should call your pediatrician's office and ask them for the vaccine lot number and then ask then to report your child's reaction to the Adverse Vaccine Reaction Agency. They are required to do this and they can tell you if it was what they call a hot lot.To: sList Sent: Tue, November 15, 2011 9:09:50 AMSubject: Re: Flu shots My 2 boys and I got our flu shots last Saturday.
