Should pregnant women get a flu shot?

Yes: If it's flu season, get the vaccine. Being pregnant increases the risk of getting the flu and increases complications due to influenza. This is a centers for disease control (cdc) recommendation.

Indeed: The standard influenza vaccine which is not live, attenuated should be given to pregnant women during the vaccination season because influenza can be particularly serious during pregnancy.

Definitely yes: Every pregnant woman should be offered the influenza vaccination during pregnancy because of the increased morbidity of pregnant women who are infected with the influenza virus. The vaccine is only a single injection. Schedule an appointment with your doctor.
