OUr endo had us get the flu shot as well. The first year, we got the dose in half. The following years, we get it in one dose. I am sure that the health will be better this year. Just wash hands and toys alot. Ask that the preschools and church nurserys spray with lysol or clean each week. Church seems to be the worst culprite. People think...its only an hour....and the kids have no business there!!! My son's first winter was the worst. Each one has been better. Sometimes I htink some kids just seem to cath it all and others don't. My son is healthier than my neighbor's kids and they have the same amount of exposure to other kids.
