Expecting Moms: Make Plans to Get a Flu Vaccine this Fall!
National Immunization Awareness Month
Getting the flu can cause serious problems when you are pregnant. Even if you are generally healthy, changes in immune, heart, and lung functions during pregnancy make you more likely to get seriously ill from the flu. Getting a flu shot can protect pregnant women and their developing babies from the flu. Some studies have shown that vaccinating a pregnant woman can give her baby antibodies to protect against flu for several months after they are born. Add getting flu vaccine this fall to your pregnancy plan!

Time to Bump it up!
Flu vaccines help protect pregnant women and their developing babies from potentially serious illness during and after pregnancy. However, with only about a half of pregnant moms getting their flu shot, too many remain unprotected. We can do better. All pregnant women need a flu shot to protect themselves and their babies.
