Yes
Yes, we always recommend the flu vaccine every year. We build immunity over time and our immune system will memorize most flu gens over time. This how we got the immunity, not just from one or two vaccines. We need multiple.
Yes please! Infants are at higher risk of more severe illness from influenza.
Absolutely YES
Yes. Anyone 6 months and older should.
All children should have the flu vaccine except those severely allergic to eggs
