Dd is 5.
Flu vaccines are happening in school on Monday .
We've talked to dd about it and told her it's just a spray .
A couple of her class mates have told dd that they are not getting the vaccine . Dd is a worrier and now she's upset saying she doesn't want the vaccine .
DH says she should still have it as its for her own good .
I'm torn . I'm considering withdrawing consent as I don't want dd upset over a vaccine that isn't 100 percent guaranteed to work and isn't offered to everybody .
I also think she should have some say over what happens to her body - but where do I draw the line in medical terms ?
