dc.description	This leaflet tells you about the seasonal flu vaccine. It tells you why it is important to get the flu vaccine if you are pregnant. This leaflet also gives you other important advice and information such as when and how to get the vaccine. As you are pregnant, you have a higher risk of severe complications if you get flu. The flu vaccine protects you against the flu during your pregnancy, and it will also provide protection to your newborn baby during their first few months of life. Babies under 6 months are the children most likely to be admitted to hospital if they get flu. If you are pregnant during the flu season, you should get the flu vaccine. Flu vaccine can be given at any stage of pregnancy, but the sooner you get it, the sooner you are protected.	en_US
