๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ถ Boo to Flu! Protect You and Your Baby

Did you know that influenza (flu) during pregnancy can increase the risk of hospitalization and may harm your developing baby? Getting a flu shot while pregnant is safe in any trimester and helps protect both you and your baby.

๐Ÿ’‰ The nasal spray flu vaccine should be avoided during pregnancy. Flu shots, on the other hand, allow your body to pass protective antibodies to your baby.
