I took the flu shot this past season, and today I'm the only one in
the household not down with a bad cold. Not sure if it's related, but
it would make sense to try to protect the kids next time around. I
can't find info on why this might NOT be a good idea, so if anyone can
point me to some I'd appreciate it. I'd like to learn both sides of
the matter first. My kids are now six months and 19 months old.

As others have said I don't think the flu shot and cold are related.

I get a flu shot every year through work and I have my kids get them if
there is enough.
They didn't the year that there was a shortage because they did not fall
into the high risk category
and neither did any other family member.
