Should we give our child a flu vaccine in two months?

Hi doctor,

My daughter is 7.5 months old and weighs around 17.6 pounds. Overall, she is fine as per the latest check-up. After six months of breastfeeding, she was started on solid foods like Cerelac wheat, rice, lentils, vegetables, fruit juice (orange or pomegranate) smashed banana and crackers, flat bread, and lentils. After a month, she will start taking fish.

I request your help regarding a couple of issues. She is extremely reluctant to take any fruit juice or banana, although she is too comfortable with the cookies or crackers. If we try to give her the juice, she cries to the extent that everybody at home gets afraid and finally gives up. Is there a way to make her take juices? Although her gum was quite hard from the age of six months, no tooth has come out yet. If she does not develop a tooth even after completing eight months, is this a matter of concern?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

I have a few questions regarding vaccination.

1. Should we give a flu vaccine to our daughter in two months? The doctor said that it could be given either during the monsoon or the winter. My son's age is two years and ten months. He received two doses of influenza vaccine during winter (the second dose given a month apart from the first) for the past two years. Should we continue that or give him a single dosage this winter?
2. Till what age should he continue?

Please advise.

Thank you.
