It’s National Influenza Vaccination Week. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), rates of flu infection are highest among children. They recommend vaccination of all children between 6 and 59 months of age, as well as “all children and adults who have certain diseases that put them at risk of serious complications from the flu and for any close contact or caretaker of someone in a high-risk group.” As always, it’s best to discuss this with your medical professional if you have any questions. You can also use Flucliniclocator.org to find a flu clinic near you.
(On a side note, the one good thing about going through the egg-retrieval/IVF process to have our child is that neither my partner nor I has even the remotest fear of needles anymore.)
