My son gets sick every time he gets the flu shot. Is it necessary for him to get one?
Every time my 8 year old son gets a flu shot, he ends up getting sick. Is it completely necessary for a child his age to get one yearly?

Sorry to hear of your dilemma. It would be nice to get your child's immune system boosted around the time of vaccination. The vaccinations are helpful to protect against some of the serious childhood diseases hence the need for your child to have them at their scheduled times.
I think you should discuss with your pediatrician, but I don’t think it is essential to get a flu shot so young.
