Yes. The flu shot is recommended in each pregnancy, at any stage, and while breastfeeding, and more so in pregnancy because flu carries a higher risk for you then.
- At a workplace clinic, nothing changes for you. Ask the nurse anything you're unsure about.
- With a voucher in Australia, pregnancy makes you eligible for a government-funded shot under the National Immunisation Program at your GP or pharmacy. Use that instead: the voucher doesn't apply.
- In New Zealand, Pharmac funds the flu vaccine for pregnant people.
The Australian Immunisation Handbook says all inactivated flu vaccines can safely be given to pregnant and breastfeeding women.
