FLU SHOT DURING PREGNANCY
There are 2 types of flu vaccines available. Pregnant women should receive the inactivated (not live) influenza vaccine that is injected intramuscularly. Live attenuated (weakened) vaccines used in the nasal spray delivery method are NOT recommended for pregnant women. If you chose to receive the vaccine during pregnancy make sure it is the inactive (not live) injected form. A third trimester vaccine gives the most benefit.
