Oh Shoot, It's a Shot

The day is here. The weather cooperated again, giving us a snow day, no school. That is a perfect time to get the little stuff done, like getting six boys to the doctor. I'm not necessarily a huge proponent of the flu shot. I've had two, both times when I was pregnant. I did notice I never got sick, and the effects seemed to last for two years. However, my neighbor is a doctor, and said the flu was two days away from our area. He tracks it with the CDC website. The last time my boys got the flu, in May in Texas, they all got double lung pneumonia, and half had double ear infections as well. I don't want to do that again. I didn't opt for shots then as it was $25 per needle, but here they're covered How do you feel about the flu shot, and have you had yours? (We're up for trying the nasal spray version this year!)
