Flu vaccine
My baby girl is 8 months old. She was given the first dose of flu vaccine last month (April 21). The doctor informed us the second dose of flu vaccine should be given in a month (may 21). But when i checked with another doctor, she said vaccines should be given only once per year and it is not mandatory.
I am so confused now. Please help should I give her the second dose now or after a year?
