There is no problem with giving flu shots to practically anyone, it is not a live virus, although that doesn't matter either.

Current references would include CDC's Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine Preventable Diseases and MDH's Got Your Shots >Further information can be received from [log in to unmask] Pat Thomas Winona County Community Health Department Winona, Minnesota >
