The Centers for Disease Control and the American College of Ob-Gyn have recommended that pregnancy women obtain a flu shot if they are pregnant between October and the following March. Unless you have over-riding reasons that would prevent you from receiving a seasonal influenza vaccination -- such as an allergy to eggs, for example -- I would strongly advise you to receive a flu shot. If you contract influenza during pregnancy, the rrisk of serious complications , including death, is much greater than to a non-pregnant woman.
