There are often rumors that flu vaccines cannot be given during pregnancy. Is this really the case?
Just the opposite. Influenza vaccines are very important.
Some pregnant mothers may worry that they will catch the flu or that the vaccine will hurt their babies. In fact, flu vaccines do not cause flu, and there is no evidence that flu vaccines will hurt the fetus.
Instead, flu vaccines may be a savior for mothers and fetuses. Pregnancy affects women’s immune system and heart and lung function, making them more vulnerable to flu. Pregnant women infected with flu are more difficult to recover and have a greater risk of worsening their illness than ordinary women.
Therefore, please inject influenza vaccine containing inactivated virus. However, it is not a nasal spray vaccine containing attenuated live virus. If you are worried about preservatives in the vaccine, you can use a single dose vaccine without preservatives.
