Where can I find accurate information about the flu vaccine shedding? I know that the live vaccine sheds but I'm curious about the amount of time it sheds, and also can the shedding cause the flu?

I doubt you will find accurate information about that. It's not something the vaccine companies want publicized.

I dont know if the shedding can cause the flu, but this is one vaccine I don't give. I used to give it. One year I gave it to 4 of my kids. 3 of them had it 3x that winter! Tested positive, fever and the whole 9 yards. That was the.last.time.I.ever.gave.the.flu.vaccine.
Oh and my pediatrician refused to test for the flu when I begged to test for it "because this year is a great year and it can't possibly be the flu". I sat in the office and refused to leave untill I got the test done.

I also don't want to give it but if the class is getting it and it sheds, for how long do I need to keep my child home?

Generally kids don’t all get the shot at the same time- it’s anywhere from oct to dec.

This exactly. My pediatrician tells me this every year when I take my kids for the shot.

I'm in Israel and I think they give the live version here.
