We are expecting our 1st grandchild in October. I was just informed by my husband that our daughter called him in tears 6 weeks ago because her doctor is insisting that all members of the family that will be around the child must get a flu shot. Our daughter unfortunately is a liberal and will follow that rule but she also knows how I feel about vaccines. My husband has known about this for 6 weeks but has been afraid to mention it to me because he knew I was not going to like it. This has put me in a horrible position. My husband even said that if I wanted to lie to her and tell her I got the shot, he would go along with it. I told him absolutely not! I am not going to lie. I promised my husband that I would do it but not without doing some investigation first. I don’t even know how to start investigation on this. Do any of you know if there is a way to figure out if there are different flu shots out there and how to know which pharma company is behind them? Any advice would be much appreciated.

If you love your grandchild, you will not get it. Someone needs to be there to raise the child if/when her parents have an "unexpected" reaction due to their choices. Do not allow this manipulation. When she wants someone to babysit because she needs a special Mom Day for herself, you will be called. It seems to be like getting the Flu shot these "mom day off" vacations. LOL. Keep your health, do not get any vaccines. They don't work anyway.
