I'm pregnant with my third baba and this time I have been offered the flu vaccine. I declined it yesterday but I can change my mind at any point.
I didn't have it with my others as it wasn't offered and they have birthdays in the same month that this baby is due.
I don't believe I have ever had the flu in my life. When I said to the GP that I wasn't sure about getting it she didn't raise any objection and said that there's so many variants of the influenza virus that it's not guaranteed to protect anyway.
Of course though I am worried that I will contract the flu and then the possible outcomes from this.
Was also told it wouldn't protect baby after he was born.
Can I have some opinions please? Please don't bash me as I said I haven't made up my mind and I'm simply asking for some advice.
