âAny time you get a flu shot is better than not getting a flu shot, but my best guess is that getting your flu shot in mid-October will give you the best chance of avoiding the flu this year,â says Jorge P. Parada, MD, a professor of medicine and director of the infection control program at Loyola University in Chicago.
Flu shots are generally recommended for babies 6 months and older. If you received a vaccination while you were pregnant, your baby will be protected for a time. It is actually recommended that pregnant women get the flu shot AND the H1N1. That particular strain of flu is 6 times more likely to be fatal for pregnant women. The threat of mercury in the thimerisol preservative is controversial at best, but the risk is nowhere near the risk to mom and baby that the H1N1 virus is.
