This is the correct call. Flu shots have no scientific data to backup their "supposed" efficacy. It is a risk to give them to kids who have had no medical screening to evaluate whether they are at high risks for things like aluminum toxicity.

This doesn't even get into the fact that studies over the last decade show that flu shots are HARMFUL to young children and the elderly. Even CNN, CBS, etc. reported on this a few years back.

The body is better suited to fight off the flu w/out the vaccine either way.

That's not true.
The caveat is infection often occurs by an HI strain not covered by vaccine. In which case, vaccination is ineffective.

Regardless of the accuracy level of this statement, it is beside the point.
