All of their shots are current. I don't agree with the chicken pox shot, but if they don't have it they can't go to school. I don't get the flu shot. Every time I have ever gotten that shot I've been sick. If I skip it, I don't get sick (coincidence?). Last year all the kids in my extended family had the flu shot (except mine) and the only 4 that weren't sick were mine. There was a lot of hubub on the news saying the strain of flu was a new kind and they weren't prepared for it. Well, how do you predict which one is coming? Do they rotate or something? DUH....as a matter of fact the only people that didn't get sick were those of us that didn't get the shot. My hubby never missed a day of work, my teenagers never missed school and the little ones were happy all winter. So, I guess you have to take a risk either way, but, you'll never convince me that the flu shot is necessary.

I did vaccinate my kids and they had no adverse effects. My sister delayed some of her kids' shots until they were closer to entering school. I do know that Whopping Cough seems to be going through the schools here the last few years and with my kids' asthma I sure want my kids far away from that coughing even though they are vaccinated. Where I live parents can take a religious exemption to the vaccinations.
