Booster shot

Hello mommies, I'm in my 33rd week now. I just took my flu jab at KKH yesterday (26/4). I asked my gynae, when should I take my booster as I already got the message twice from MOH. She told me to take it a week after my flu jab and not nearing to birthing time. Now Hari raya is coming, I wouldn't want to be sick during this timing if I were to take it next week(which is 1st week of Hari Raya) . OR should I take it after birth itself? Opinion please. Thank you.

I had my whooping cough jab about a week after booster . Gynae said the 1-2weeks gap is for people who fell sick after vaccine . Since I didn’t have symptoms after booster , I can take the whooping cough vaccine within the same week . If didn’t feel well after vaccine then will have to wait 1-2weeks I believe it will be the same the other way

I'd suggest you take before raya. unless you not going to visiting and just stay put at home. during visiting we are exposed to many people in an enclosed area and getting covid while heavily pregnant with no booster, i rather you don't take the risk. take care mommy.

hi mommy, for me I too after birth. but then I fall sick very badly, the same time I needed to take care of my baby it was difficult for me. think wisely. love ❤️

follow what the gynae advice, though 2 weeks apart safer..

take it before hari raya.. esp before visiting

I was asked to take 2 weeks apart
