I wasn't clear about what I meant. Abbie had a flu shot at her pediatrician visit. I'm talking about the recommended (but not proven) second dose for children under 9 years old, that the CDC is now saying not to give so that more kids can get at least one shot. I'm guessing Abbie's doctor won't have any left for second doses. So, while I'm telling most parents that the CDC has abandoned the second-dose recommendation (this scores a big political hit with the kids), I'm saving one for Abbie and a few other kids at one risk or another because I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
