Vaccines during pregnancy?

Question

Is it safe to get the influenza vaccine during pregnancy? My doctor told me im overdue for it but im scared what of it harms my baby.

Answer

Getting the flu vaccine would be far less stress on your body than getting the flu, so take that into account. All the flu vaccine is is a very small amount of a flu strain so your immune system can build antibodies.

Answer

Read the package insert that comes with the vaccine and decide for yourself.

Answer

Please get it. You are pregnant and your immune system is weaker than normal and the flu can land you in the hospital at this state.

Answer

My doctor told me to get the Flu vaccine and the TDAP.

Answer

Do your own research. Please don't just do what a Dr. tells you. Make your own informed decisions.

Answer

I got the flu shot when I was pregnant and my son who is now almost 3 is healthy...it didn't affect him

Answer

I got pregnant at the end of "flu season", but I worked at a university so the Dr suggested I get it anyways, so I did. I hadn't gotten one since I was little, but I figured it was important to keep myself as healthy as can be working so closely with such a large number of college students.

Answer

If your Dr says it's ok, it's ok. You will be fine.
