Is Flu shot ok when TTC?
| Mon, 10-06-2003 - 3:17pm |
Does anyone know if it's ok to have a flu shot?
I normally get one, but now that we're ttc (and hopefully pg!), I thought I'd ask.
Thanks in Advance!

Guess I'll just have to avoid her and her needles if it's not OK (she usually gives us flu shots herself). This is going to be tricky! :)

I now have to figure out how to skip mine without giving things away here at work. I've even thought of going in to see the nurse & coming out w/ a bandaid ~ but no shot. Am i going too far here?? LOL!
Hope this helps!

I popped onto that website someone posted last week- which I have found invaluable so far by the way- I went to I for influenza and they list a couple different flu vaccines there. Here is the link to the one I popped in the search: http://www.safefetus.com/DrugDetail.asp?DrugId=1200&TradeName=Influvac%20200/2001&TradeId=2358
Reading this(although there doesn't sound like there is a definitive answer through research) I think it should be avoided.
HTH!
