Not to give my child Flu jab

[Binjob118]

My son is 6 and has been offered the nasal flu jab at school. He has had it the last 2 years and had no problems, but I now feel reluctant to give it to him. Does a healthy child really need this? I have to admit this change in my thinking has come about since the COVID vaccine rollout and the many vaccine injuries that seem to be being ignored by the MSM.

It’s entirely your choice. But we have evidence that vaccinating children reduces hospitalisations and death rates from flu. It’s only a couple of years ago since my kid was very high risk because she was on chemo - is it so bad to do something to benefit someone else? I’m also not aware of any significant injuries arising from the nasal vaccine.

both mine will definitely be having it.

The way this is written is full blown conspiracy theory rubbish. Yes, there are occasional injuries from vaccines, including the covid one. No, it's not widespread and there isn't an effort by the 'MSM' to conceal it

Your pov is quite disturbing, why does offering a flu vaccination to young children not sit right with you?
You must know how awfully children with flu are affected, they're as vulnerable as the elderly.

Anti vaxxers always say "jab" even if it isn't. They want to make it sound as negative as possible.

Also you do know it's not a jab? They don't stick a needle in their noses.

What if your child passed it on to a friend who is vulnerable but can't have the vaccine? Won't you feel guilty then? I doubt it.

Tomatosandwiches healthy children are not. The vast majority of complications and hospitalisations with flu is in the over 65's.

Flu vaccine is not very effective in the elderly but highly effective in children. Children are also considered super spreaders for flu.

This is all very clearly documented

This post has reminded me to book my flu vaccine. As someone who's had flu once at the age of 16, I wish to never ever have it again. Flu is so dangerous for children. My kids will always have it.

It's not a nasal jab.

HTH

It's not a jab. My friend's daughter was blue lighted to hospital last year with flu. But do what you want.

My medically compromised son goes to school with healthy children though, is he fit to be sacrificed because it makes you uncomfortable for no apparent valid reason?

I haven't had flu. I have had pneumonia though. Does it compare?

It reduces the risk of your child being hospitalised with flu by 2/3 if they were unfortunate enough to catch it. This alone would be enough to convince me if I was on the fence.
It can't give them flu. Both my DC will be having it. I've given over 100 flu jabs this afternoon and will likely be giving a good amount more this year!

Thank god you had the flu jab then when you were pregnant!

I wish a lot of people who say they have never had flu would have the jab tbh. They are probably the other super spreaders amongst us.

A lot of people don't get more sick than a few sneezes, but if tested, would have flu. Which, because they keep going to work, they then pass on making other people much more sick.

All my DC will be having the vaccine and DH and I pay to have the jab. I don't really see why anyone would turn it down, it takes about 3 seconds to squirt it up their nose then it's done.

I think another part of the problem is, so many people say they've got the flu or are a bit 'fluey' when they really don't that a lot of people think it's like a cold.

I have had it once. I was laying on the bathroom floor almost constantly for days because it was the only place I felt like I could cool down. I didn't eat, I could barely sleep because everything hurt. It is honestly awful - I just don't get why you wouldn't protect your kids from that if it's available to you. Even if it's only apparently 50 percent effective on average, Even if it's partly to protect the elderly and vulnerable too. I wouldn't wish it on ANYONE.

Well great for you. Do you want a round of applause?

I had flu when I was 17, so I was fit and healthy.

It was truly, the worst two weeks of my whole life ( I'm nearly 60.)

If a quick nasal squirt can prevent it from being spread, I'm all for it.

The true vaccine injuries - of which there have been some, and a whole expensive vaccination thread has been cancelled because of it - are not ignored by the MSM (if you want to call it that). What is ignored is a bunch of people randomly claiming their relative who has a had a totally normal health event such as a heart attack, stroke or other illness or mid/later life hit is ill entirely because they also happen to be vaccinated, with no medical evidence whatsoever to suggest that was the reason (and often tons to suggest the opposite)

I'm CEV and I don't let my kids have the flu one. Kids don't generally get flu very bad and anyone who it CEV can clearly get the vaccination themselves.

My kids have had all other vaccinations as I'm not anti vax but don't believe the flu vaccination is beneficial to them.

I didn't used to get the jab, but since I had flu for 3 desperate, unbearable weeks with a 4 month old to look after (my mum visited to help and ended up having to move in for 12 days as both me and DH were incapacitated) I get it every single year.

@SoSad44 they are only toddlers. I haven’t had the nasal one myself so don’t know but you say how will they as if it’s a given that if you don’t have the vaccine, you get flu, which it isn’t. I’ve never had it, and only had the vaccine once. I

I think another part of the problem is, so many people say they've got the flu or are a bit 'fluey' when they really don't that a lot of people think it's like a cold.

That's actually what flu is like for most people. That's how it spreads. But every now and then it makes someone really ill.
