21 weeks pregnant, flu shot friday. was coughed on 2x in face, she had dry cough & smokes. worried ill catch infection of some kind from her

Well: You may catch a viral infection from the cough if it comes from a person who was infected. However there is really nothing you can do about it after the fact. At 21 week of pregnancy, there is little risk for the fetus even if you contracted the viral infection.
