Help

Please, I read on some one's blog about the flu vaccine. What again, do I need to be careful of? There is a vaccine that is safer for our babies, i.e. pre-schoolers. Please remind me, if you know...

I'll go with what the CDC says:

http://www.cdc.gov/FLU/protect/keyfacts.htm

People who should get vaccinated each year are:

Children aged 6 months up to their 19th birthday

Pregnant women

People 50 years of age and older

People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions

People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities

People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including:
-Health care workers
-Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu
-Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated)

Hope that helps!

Molly and I both got the vaccine!
I bought her stocking at a store in Houston, but I found it online. One designer I love is Melissa Shirley Designs. She's got great stocking for boys and girls.

I remember a needlepoint store on Lovers Lane, west of Preston. Can't remember the name of it, but its on the right hand side and its before Chips Hamburger.
