Does flu shot hurt more than tdap?

Depends: Some years it hurts a little more and some less. This years preparation burns a little for a few seconds, but soon fades.Neither are that much of a problem.

If I got the flu shot and Tdap vaccine while pregnant in the 3rd trimester - how protected is my newborn baby from these diseases? She is 95% formula feed although it has probiotics in it. She will be vaccinated fully as soon as possible at 2 months.
