Children and influenza vaccines
Advertisements [?]
So I have a question for those skeptics with children. My company makes influenza vaccines, and just got in their shipments for this fall, record early. They are running a campaign simultaneously with the election to raise awareness of the importance of vaccinating children. To that end they commissioned an interesting study that showed that although 8 of 10 parents are aware of flu vaccines, only 44% have ever had their child vaccinated.
Putting aside insurance/cost issues (which MIGHT be an influence) those of you with children..do you get your kids vaccinated for the flu? Why or why not?

FYI, if anyone is interested in the survey/information/promotion (which will be advertised in Denver during the convention) you can PM me for the link. I'd rather not have my name publically linked to my place of employment.
