I see. I'm not sure whether I'd get my children vaccinated against regular flu if it were offered, then (since it's not, I don't need to think about it much). Maybe Emer, because she has A Bit Of A Chest in general. But it sounds like it'd be worth it if they were going to be seeing certain of their relations.

In general, I figure my own children would get most of these Normal Childhood Diseases and be ok afterwards, and that goes for Normal Flu, too. They're well-nourished well-cared-for healthy children with lots of material advantages. Well, except Astrid, who is still small enough that flu would be terrifying, and also too small to be vaccinated really.
