Doctors Recommend That Pregnant Women Have To Make A Flu Shot. Pregnant women were urged to get a flu ball during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, and novel evidence supports that advice. Norwegian researchers have found that vaccination in pregnancy was safe for mother and child, and that fetal deaths were more common among unvaccinated moms-to-be. Influenza is a serious intimation to a pregnant woman and her unborn child, said Dr Camilla Stoltenberg, director general of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health in Oslo, lead researcher of the new study. “Our ponder indicates that influenza during pregnancy was a risk factor for stillbirth during the pandemic in 2009”.

And “We find no indication that pandemic vaccination in the second or third trimester increased the risk of stillbirth”. With this year’s flu pummeling many bourgeoisie across the United States, experts say the best way a pregnant woman can protect her unborn baby from flu complications is by getting a flu shot. “In wing to protecting the mother against severe influenza, the vaccine protects the fetus and the child in the first months after birth, when the child is too young to be vaccinated”.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a flu crack for everyone over 6 months of age. Besides pregnant women, the CDC says the elderly and anyone with a chronic condition such as asthma or diabetes are especially vulnerable to infection.
