This is one of the most common questions of pregnant mommies. So, the answer is YES!
The inactivated influenza vaccine (flu shot) is considered safe at any stage of pregnancy. Pregnant women, or those intending to become pregnant, should receive the inactivated influenza vaccine (flu shot), which contains killed influenza viruses that cannot cause infection.
Women in the second half of pregnancy are at higher risk of influenza-related complications and at higher risk of hospitalization from these complications, especially those in the third trimester. As well, women at any stage of pregnancy who have chronic medical conditions are also at higher risk of serious influenza complications and should get the Flu Vaccine shot.
For more detailed information, you may ask your OB so she could explain it better to you and to your husband.
