🤰💉 Protect Yourself & Your Baby This Flu Season

The flu isn’t just “a bad cold.” When you’re pregnant, it can hit harder, last longer, and lead to serious complications for you and your little one. The good news? The flu jab is one of the easiest ways to stay safe.

✅ Safe in every stage of pregnancy
Research confirms the flu vaccine is safe for both mum and baby-no increased risk of birth defects or pregnancy problems.

🛡️ Double protection
Not only will you be protected, but your baby will also benefit. Antibodies you create after the jab by passing through the placenta, giving them a head start until they’re old enough (6 months) to get vaccinated themselves.

🚫 Avoid serious complications
Flu during pregnancy can raise the risk of preterm labour, low birth weight, and-in rare cases-miscarriage or stillbirth.

🤒 Your immune system changes in pregnancy
This makes you more vulnerable to infections like flu, which can spiral into pneumonia, dehydration, or hospitalisation.
