“Is it safe to have a flu shot while pregnant?”
I am 2 months pregnant and want to get a flu shot. Is it safe to have a flu shot while pregnant?

So yes, flu shots in pregnancy are fine. And in any trimester. And probably recommended to get a regular shot not necessarily the nasal vaccine.
Yes,
There are scientific studies that show the flu shot is safe and beneficial during pregnancy.
Your body is compromised and immune system weakened, so the vaccine helps you create antibodies against the illness. Also, you pass those antibodies to your baby.

Yes, it is safe to get flu shot in pregnancy.
Other recommended vaccines include: COVID, RSV and TDAP (at the recommended times).
All the best.
