I hate to state the obvious, but you don't know what you are writing about. Influenza vaccine has been recommended for ALL CHILDREN over 6 months of age for over a decade. And for those 6 to 24 months for two decades.

If you have any actual interest in understanding this recommendation read about it from the American Academy of Pediatrics

A clear definitive statement from the CDC

"Everyone 6 months of age and older should get an influenza (flu) vaccine every season with rare exception. "
