Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

H1N1 flu shot is a safe vaccine , even if by mistake an extra dose given , it will not cause harm , you need to find any cause of forgetfulness of your child, like any social issues, or problem at school , but it is not related to flu shot.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.

Wishing your child good health.

Hi...this is not because of the shot. Do not worry. But if you feel he has got excessive forgetfulness, I suggest you get him counseled by a clinical psychologist. Sometime iron deficiency can cause this, and you can use some iron supplements after consulting your pediatrician.
