Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Since you are visiting a hospital and winter is coming, i sincerely advice you to give flu vaccine to the child. For first time vaccination of flu, the vaccine is given twice at an interval of 2 months. Thereafter a single dose of vaccine is required every year. Vaccines of flu come by the name of influence or handgrip. I hope this has helped you. Take care. Regards - Chat Doctor.
