h1n1 vaccines in school. keep ds home?

[goldrose]

My son's school is offering free swine flu shots. My daughter contracted chicken pox from her friend who had gotten the shot.

My son (3 years old) will not be getting the swine flu shot. Should I keep him home on the day the shots are being offered, and for any time after that, and how long?

Thanks!

If it's the shot, it's dead and can't shed. If it's flumist it's live and can shed.

The only reason to keep him home would be if you were worried about him 'accidently' getting vaccinated.

I would keep him home so he doesnt get vaxed!
