This is good to know, just in case chemo ends up being on our list. We avoid vaxes when we can (had bad reaction issues in my kids) but as we homeschool, we usually manage to avoid flu germs as well because we are home so much. We will be heading right into germ season when/if we start further treatments.

You guys know so MUCH stuff!
