To keep my daughter off school for the final week to properly recover?

My daughter (year 5) is currently battling yet another virus and has now had 3 in less than 3 months. I'm loathe to send her back in when she's still not 100%, ie, no fever or vomiting but still congested and a bit tired. She hadn't fully recovered from the last thing when she got this current thing and with flu being rife, I feel sending her in will likely compromise her health. She needs time to properly rest and recover. I figure they won't be doing much learning during the last week anyway. Would it be unreasonable to keep her off even if she is technically capable of going in?

I’m curious as to whether she had the flu vaccine? All the parents flapping about the flu, did you get them vaccinated? Mine had it in October so I’m really not that worried about it.

Yeah she had the spray, which I'm hoping will help if she did get it but at the same time who knows with this drifted strain.

So, did you take her in?
