Indeed, vaccines ARE beneficial for the majority of children. Vaccinations have nearly wiped out many contagious diseases -- unless parents did not vaccinate their children. MMR--measles, mumps, rubella (German measles)-- is one. Small pox another; polio containment a HUGE achievement.

Besides deformities, like from polio, and years of medical treatments, many of these contagions resulted in death for babies and young children.

Is there anything your small kids can take to help prevent H1N1 other than the vaccine?

No, only a vaccination can prevent the flu. Children can take the injectable vaccinations for H1N1/09 if over 6 months old. Kids 2 years or older can take the nasal mist vaccinations if they are otherwise healthy. Small children are in the higher risk groups for complications from both the seasonal flu and A-H1N1/09. Clinical trials prior to the approval of the four H1N1 vaccines that are available in the US, proved them safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The A-H1N1/09 vaccines are made the same way as all modern flu vaccines are and the incidence of adverse effects has been very low over these decades. If you are concerned about using the vaccines in children, speak to their Pediatricians. The majority of the medical community is encouraging the use of the vaccines to all who can take them, because they believe the risk of the flu is greater than the risk of any problems with the vaccine.
