Hello,
Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.
While it is definitely not a good idea to give to consecutive Flu shots, the child most probably will NOT have any adverse health effects due to this. Minor over doses of vaccines are well tolerated and will NOT cause negative health effects under normal circumstances as they have high safety (therapeutic ) windows.
Please feel free to ask followup questions / clarification.
Take care
Thank you
