You don't have to agree but my grandmother has been a nurse for 28 years and always advises AGAINST the flu shot. I've never had one and I've never had the flu. I know a woman who wasn't able to walk for a full year because she had a bad reaction to a flu shot. I definitely won't be getting one while pregnant. Please research before you do whatever the doctor recommends. Just because they say it doesn't mean you have to do it.
