A member asked:
I had the worst acid reflux i had ever had last week & i even had to go to urgent care. just curious, approx. 1 1/2 or 2 weeks before the flare-up i received flu & tdap shots on the same day. could those vaccines have caused the flare-up of my gerd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The vaccinations do not cause a flare-up of GERD, nor do they create symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. One's GERD should be treated in the usual fashion, regardless of when he got some vaccinations.

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.
