My job implemented a new mandatory influenza policy. My gut is telling me not to get one. What about you other mommys? Flu shot or no?



my doctor recommends if as the flu is more dangerous
@momx2, it's in low amounts to begin with but I was worried about that too and did some more research and it said they use a slightly different mixture for pregnant women without that in it. Hope that's true but. I will still be getting it I think.
I'm going to try my best not to get it but I'm delivering in a fall month so I may need it
@mommyof2angelboys, it contains thimerosal, a Mercury based preservative. Doesn't seem safe to me.
it is highly recommend as the flu can cause harm to your baby
I got a flu shot when I was pregnant. Honestly I would highly recommend it
talk to your doctor about it. as I work health care and my doc says it would be better
