Ive been discussing this too with my hubbie tonight as I have 2 under 5's. Will probably get them done even though I hate the thought of the vaccine swimming around their little bodies! :(
Better than them being really ill though.
My oh had his last friday and said that his arm hurt so much afterwards, felt dead etc (maybe he's just a wuss?) He said if he felt like that how would our lo's feel?
He also just found out yesterday that they were guinea pigs for a new batch so don't even know if their jab will protect them!
I am torn too. Both mine are under 5, my youngest is under 1. Watching the news just now I am swaying towards givng it to my 4 year old as she interacts with kids at school, I may hold off on my baby.

I think you need the medical profession, not a deals forum.
Personally, if my kids were that age, I wouldn't have it done.
Don't experts use internet sites? Theres all walks of life on this place.....vets, Drs, teachers etc....like i said i asked for advise, i didn't ask for decision making.
i have a 4 year old and a 20 month old. I will not be getting mine done. we know nothing much about the jab and i am not letting them have that kind of stuff floating round there little bodies.
I was offered the jab last week (cos of asthma) & i declined it, my youngest is 5 and i won't be sending him off either... That's not based on any professional judgement, purely my choice as a parent who doesn't get worried by the scaremongering news reports.
It is FLU. Swine flu is less harmful by far than "normal flu", and have they been vaccinated against that? I don't think so! People need to man up! Stop pumping your body full of drugs!

i'm sure its not that simple as the goverment wouldn't waste money they haven't got because people, kids, old and sick can't MAN UP
