What about the flu vaccine/shot for those TTC?

[AppleSeed]

I work in the health care and in health care they reccommend that we get our flu vaccines. So - would you? Have you? Have you heard anything telling me that I should? Shouldn't? Feedback is appreciated.

I am a teacher and we have the opportunity to receive free flu shots on November 5th. I had intended to get one but am wondering the same thing!

Likewise! I work for the NHS & get a flu jab every year. Due for mine this morning. What to do?!

I had mine on saturday and asked that very question - it's not a live vaccine so it's ok to have while pregnant or ttc. Felt like crap the day after though!

I have mine every year but I rang the doctors this morning and said I may be pg and they said I couldn't have it!!

I googled and everything and everywhere said it was fine, and you could even get one that was different and suitable so I may kick off with them if I still have BFP on Thursday.

i saw recently on the news that they are planing on starting to give it to pregnant women so id imagine its ok

i'm worried now i've had mine! i'im sure she couldn't tell me it was ok and give it to me if it's not cos then i could sue!

wondering here too!! i have to get one every year. my father has a bad heart so him getting the flu isnt good at ALL.

HI appleseed, i am meant to have this jab due to my asthma, and i personally would advise against it..the 2 times i've had it have made me really poorly..one of which set off an asthma attack. Also my friend who is a nurse says a lot of people she works around wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Obviously if you havent had a problem in the past i would go for it!!
