Flu vaccine is necessary Take it as advised by ur paediatrician unless u have financial issues

Flu vaccine is necessary. Kids below 5 years have less immunity against viral influenza and are at highest risk to have serious infections. Epidemics of flu occur in monsoon and winter. The world health organization WHO also recommends it.

Yes — I strongly recommend the flu vaccine for your baby At 6 months old, your baby is now old enough to receive their first flu shot. Babies this age are especially vulnerable. Infants under 1 year have immature immune systems and no prior immunity to influenza. When babies get the flu, they’re at much higher risk of serious complications. Because of changing trends in genetics of viruses , flu vaccines also are updated regularly in accordance with new strains of viruses. This vaccine will prevent origin of flu infection in children and in children who are exposed to virus , the seriousness risk will be less. vaccination regularly will make him be part of vaccine cocooning. Once child is affected with any illness , his body energy resources will be diverted towards the recovery from illness which will affect his growth and other parameters like weight n height

Flu vaccine is an optional but recommended vaccine after 6 months of age. It helps reduce chances of severe flu infection, hospitalization, and complications. Even healthy children can benefit from it. If given for the first time before 9 years of age, 2 doses are advised 1 month apart.

Yes beneficial,will give protection to Influenza

Good evening, I will give you the pros and cons you decide Pros ↓ Flu illness risk: ~40–60% ↓ Hospitalization (children): ~40–70% ↓ ICU admission (children): ~74% ↓ Flu-related death (children): ~50–65% ↓ Severe complications (pneumonia, myocarditis, encephalopathy) Protects high-risk groups (young children, elderly, pregnant, chronic disease) Indirect protection for infants <6 months (via maternal vaccination) ↓ School/work absenteeism Reduces transmission within families Cons Not fully protective (effectiveness varies yearly) Requires annual dose Mild side effects: Injection site pain: ~10–20% Low-grade fever: ~5–10% Rare adverse events: Febrile seizures: ~1–2 per 10,000 Guillain-Barré Syndrome: ~1–2 per million Does not protect against all viral fevers (only influenza) Cost/availability may be limiting ⚖️ Bottom line Benefit >> risk, especially in children, elderly, pregnant women, and comorbid patients

Yes give .Also you can consider few vaccine which are not available in government like Japanese Encephalitis vaccine, Typhoid vaccine pneumococcal vaccine , Chicken pox vaccine , hepatitis A ,HPV (if female baby)
