Yes, it is generally recommended for babies 6 months and older to receive the influenza IIV (inactivated influenza vaccine) as part of their routine vaccinations. This is important because infants, especially under 2 years old, are at a higher risk of severe complications from the flu, such as pneumonia or bronchitis. The flu vaccine helps protect your baby by building immunity against the virus. For a 6.5-month-old baby, the vaccine is typically given in two doses, spaced about four weeks apart, during the first flu season they are vaccinated. It is safe and effective, but it's always best to consult your pediatrician to ensure your baby is healthy and ready for the vaccine at the time of the appointment.
