My wife is pro vaccines but doesn't see the benefit of the flu shot for our 2.5 year old (healthy) son. This is very frustrating to me. I am vaccinated and work in a hospital. I want to be able to show her data and evidence. Thank you so much.<br />Appreciate your blog.Avi's "blah"ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582658794906532850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747912489328463559.post-87990368051459196962016-11-21T08:39:00.197-08:002016-11-21T08:39:00.197-08:00If it helps even one grieving mother or prevents o...If it helps even one grieving mother or prevents one death, it will have been worthwhile to tell this story.

No, they declined the influenza immunizations so she did not receive it. You are to understand that she was a healthy 12 year old girl who died of influenza complications that were not pneumonia. Her parents were not against the flu immunization per se, but they were not strongly in favor of it. My job is to give recommendations in a respectful way and not browbeat. Sometimes, I think back and wish I had pushed harder, but it might not have changed the outcome. This community, myself and Piper's parents miss her greatly. She was an amazing human being.

It is unimaginable. My question to you is this: As her pediatrician, did you give her a flu shot? And, if so, are we to understand that she got the flu anyway?? OR....was the mom & dad against the flu shot and you never gave her the flu shot? Please comment.
