Taking time off work due to the flu can cost you. Reduce the liklihood that you and your kids contract the flu by getting a seasonal flu shot. Most insurance companies cover the cost with little or no co-pay.
My children's doctor office offers flu vaccines on specific Saturdays for the next couple of months, so I don't have to take any time off work to get them vaccinated.
My employer gives them to employees at no cost to us and our dependents. A healthy employee doesn't need to take time off work for themselves or their children.
If you don't have insurance, many local pharmacies offer the vaccines for $25-30. Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS, and many others don't even require an appointment.
