Should you and is it completely safe to get the tdap and flu vaccines when about 33 1/2 wk pregnant?

Absolutely!: Flu is especially dangerous to pregnant women and all pregnant women should receive immunization regardless of stage of pregnancy. TDap is recommended between 27 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Yes it is safe: Tdap and flu vaccines are safe and are recommended during pregnancy to pass passive immunity to the new born
