Pregnant? It’s time to get your flu vaccination to protect you and your baby this winter.
You’ll be able to arrange your flu vaccine as part of the national flu vaccination programme, launched on 1 September.
Flu vaccines can be given at any stage of your pregnancy from September to March. You can have the flu vaccine along with the whooping cough vaccine from 16 weeks into your pregnancy. You can also have the flu vaccine along with the vaccine to protect your baby against RSV from 28 weeks.
Joanna Melia, Public Health Midwife at Hull Women and Children’s Hospital, said: “Give your baby the best start in life by making sure you’re vaccinated during pregnancy.
“Ask your midwife about your appointments to make sure you get this vital protection against what can be very serious illness for you and your baby.”
Flu jabs are available from pharmacies and GP surgeries but you can also get it from our vaccination clinics at Beverley, Hull and Cottingham.
