My son is 4 months old and he is fully vaccinated till 14 weeks. His next scheduled vaccine is influenza. Our doctor advised we can skip it. My question: 1. Does influenza vaccine protect from swine flu (My city has swine flu problem)? 2. How risky is to skip this vaccine (I did not even skip rotavirus vaccine)?
