Flu and covid jab

I just found out that I’m pregnant yesterday and full of anxiety (I have posted lots already today. Sorry!). This morning I had both my covid and flu jab done. Happy to have them both but now worried that I had them both at once. Is that ok if pregnant? I didn’t ask and it didn’t occur to me until after that I hadn’t told them I’m pregnant.

Yes it's fine, actually encouraged. You'll likely get asked if you want one by your midwife anyway so just tell her you've already had them

They'd offer them both to you in pregnancy to help protect baby so should be fine :)

I haven't had mine yet but booked for both on same day in November when I'll be about 26 weeks. I believe it's fine as when I was in my local maternity unit for my last scan a midwife was going around the waiting room telling mums to be that if they have time after their appts they were running a drop in clinic to have both COVID and flu jabs done. I heard many women ask her if they could have both at the same time and the midwife confirmed it was fine.
