Flu shot?

ileen 🌻🏔

I’ve never been one to get the flu shot religiously every year, it’s not that I’m against vaccines it’s just that if i get sick it’s just a cold and it goes away within a week or two but now that I’m pregnant my dr recommends that i get it. I just don’t know how to feel about it because i think the only time I’ve gotten it is when that whole swine flu scare (10 years ago) happened. Also idk if i want my 2 year old to get it. I just want to know if it’s necessary because the new baby will be here in January?
