Flu Jab

[19annie86]

Just wanting to check does anyone know, just trying to get through to dr takes a while. I got the flu jab back in February this year as I was pregnant, had a miscarriage in March, I am since pregnant again, do I need to get the flu jab again this year or would I be due it again in February

Its a new flu season so you'd need it again as they change slightly each year.
You can check with a pharmacist though before you get it

You can get it after 16 weeks x

When you say after 16 weeks, my dr gave me flu vaccine in last pregnancy and I would have only been about 4 or 5 weeks pregnant at the time

Oops sorry I read this wrong - I meant the whooping cough!!

Yes new flu season so get jabbed, check the timing with your midwife

Im getting my second covid vaccine tomorrow, wonder would it be wise to leave a bit of a gap between it and flu vaccine

You can have the flu vaccine at any point in pregnancy.
A new vaccine is recommended each pregnancy as it boosts your immunity and passes that to baby, the vaccines also change from year to year and have different strains in which are the strains expected to be circulating that winter. So last years vaccine may not protect you against the strains of flu currently circulating.

The whooping cough vaccine is recommended after 16w of pregnancy, and booster of the vaccine for each pregnancy.
I’m a practice nurse and give out plenty of these x

You can have the flu and covid vaccinations at the same time.

Great thanks for the advice
