Betsy, thanks for that post. My 11 yr old CAH daughter battles ear,sinus,throat infections every year. She had a tonsilectomy/adenoidectomy and still she gets everything! Last year she had pneumonia and was very ill. Her doctor (endo and pediatrician) both recommend the flu shot. I took her just this morning for hers and I went ahead and got one myself earlier this week. I figure, why take unnecessary chances.
