Any flu shots?

Question

I am curious to know, will doctors force pregnant woman to take the flu shot or the shots for COVID-19? I want the best for my baby but I don’t want these extra new shots that I don’t think is necessary just because of the epidemic that is going around, unless I am really sick. Has anyone ask their doctors yet, or had experience being force to take shots?

Answer

They don’t force you but I’ve got it every time I’m pregnant and every year. Flu is not something you want when pregnant 
Same as whooping cough jab. They are important and offered for a reason. 
There isn’t a coronavirus vaccine yet and there won’t be for a few years at least

Answer

They won’t force you. I never got it with my first and I won’t with my second. I’ve also never had the flu.

Answer

I’ve gotten the flu shot while pregnant with all 3 of my babies. Also I don’t believe there is a vaccine yet for covid. You have the right to refuse any shots.

Answer

I don’t think they can force you to do anything. I’m from the UK and my last pregnancy (have a 9 month old) I was offered the flu jab and I had it. I’m 14 weeks pregnant now and didn’t even get offered it this time around🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

Wth there aren't any "extra new shots". The flu shot has been highly recommended for years and it's better to get that than the FLU when pregnant or when you have a newborn. 
There isn't a covid vaccine yet, so it's not even going to come up.

Answer

They can’t force you to have anything in particular. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

They can’t force you but I 100% get all recommended vaccines while pregnant and now that I’m a mom. I may have been more careless when it was just me, but I’m not playing when it comes to my kids’ safety.

Answer

I only get it pregnant to avoid a fever at all costs. But they can’t force you to take it! My doctor was very polite and just asked me if I wanted it and let me think about it until the next appointment 😊

Answer

They aren't going to force you, but its a good idea to at least get the flu shot. I get it every year, and got it with pregnancy with no issues.

Answer

They don’t force you and I don’t ever get the flu shot and didn’t end up with the flu until this year when my daughter got it (she’s had the flu shot) and I was pregnant (didn’t know at the time)
