I took the flu shot this past season, and today I'm the only one in

it would make sense to try to protect the kids next time around. I
can't find info on why this might NOT be a good idea, so if anyone can
point me to some I'd appreciate it. I'd like to learn both sides of
the matter first. My kids are now six months and 19 months old.

The only thing I know is you shouldn't get it if you're allergic to eggs.

That's incorrect. People who are allergic to eggs should talk to their doctors and let them know they are allergic to eggs before getting vaccinated (there are actually two vaccines, one that is given nasally and one that is a shot).
