🫄Flu Vaccine in Pregnancy👶

All Pregnant women can get the flu vaccine from 1st September 2026.

There is good evidence that pregnant women have a higher chance of developing complications if they get flu, particularly in the later stages of pregnancy, and could cause your baby to be born prematurely or have a low birthweight, and may even lead to stillbirth or death.

Women who have had a flu vaccine while pregnant also pass some protection on to their babies. This lasts for the first few months after they're born, when they're particularly at risk from flu.

The Flu vaccine for all pregnant women is available in the antenatal clinics in Frimley Park hospital and Wexham Park hospital

See the link below for more information or speak with your midwife:
