Flu.gov transition to CDC
Beginning today, November 4, 2016, visitors to the Flu.gov web site will be redirected to CDC's influenza web site as part of a transition of all influenza content previously available on or through Flu.gov to CDC. This includes information related to seasonal and novel influenza, much of which was previously syndicated to Flu.gov from CDC. This also includes the newsletters that you may have received in the past.
Below is an example of the email that CDC sends out each Friday. If you would like to receive this email, please join the CDC News and Highlights (Influenza) List.

Pregnant Women & Influenza (flu)
During the 2015–16 flu season, flu vaccination coverage among pregnant women remained stable at approximately 50% compared with the previous four seasons. Pregnant women and infants are at increased risk for complications and hospitalization from flu. Flu vaccination can reduce the risk of flu-related illness for pregnant women and their infants.

Pregnant? Get a Flu Shot!
If you're pregnant, a flu shot is your best protection against serious flu illness. Vaccination helps protect women during and after pregnancy and also protects the developing baby during pregnancy as well as for several months after the baby is born.
