My daughter who is now 12 has had it for a number of years with nothing more than a slightly sore arm or mildly raised temp for a few days post jab.

Definately worth it for your sons health and your peace of mind.

My daughter was due to have hers today but have had to postpone as shes not well - typical!!

I'm asthmatic and have had the flu jab all my life with no side effects thats ever since it came out. I also have a 2 year old son who has the flu jab and again he has no problem.

I would recommend having the flu jab and getting him the flu jab as flu can cause real problems even with mild asthma.
