Hello,
We're pleased that Professor David Salisbury is coming back on Mumsnet to take questions about pregnant women having the swine flu immunisation. His first visit to MN was in October 2009.
The reason for his return visit is that levels of seasonal flu are currently rising around the UK and one of the strains making life misery for people who get it is H1N1, aka 'swine' flu.
Prof Salisbury is director of immunisation at the Department of Health, which is currently recommending that all pregnant women have the seasonal flu jab, which protects against three strains of flu, including H1N1.
If you have any questions about the swine flu jab, please come and put them to Prof Salisbury on Tues 21 Dec, noon to 1pm. Because of the short notice for the chat, he won't be preparing any answers in advance, but he'll try to get through as many as possible tomorrow.
Thank you.
