It is better to get vaccinated for influenza
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for asking on this platform
Most of the time vaccination cards mention the name of vaccination and their schedule as per IAP guidelines to a limited extent.
There can be vaccinations which are mandatory, which should be given as per IAP(Indian academy of pediatric) recommendation and as one to one councelling with the parents.
The influenza vaccine comes into third category and should be give after councelling of the parents.
The recommended schedule is at 6 months of age.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
