I'm under pressure from family to give my 4 and 2 year old the
seasonal flu shot. This pressure is exacerbated lately since
a two year old in my area died from complications due to the
flu. I understand that those that succumb to the flu are not
leading the healthiest of lives but no one is guaranteed
immunity and the thought of loosing a child over something -
which apparently can be prevented or mitigated - must be
crippling for those parents.

I've researched this vaccination but I'm confused on what to
believe since I cannot separate the fact from fiction. Can
anyone offer advice or direct me to a reputable source to make
an informed decision?
