Tomorrow at work they are giving out flu shots. So, I started wondering, is it okay to get it while breastfeeding? Has anybody ever gotten the flu shot while breastfeeding and got sick? If so, what were the results...

yes you should get the flu shot so the antibodies are passed onto your child. i got the flu shot this year and i got a little sick but not nearly as bad as if it were the real thing.

I have been given the H1N1 shot, even though it became the only that did no longer carry the virus. i'm beneficial you would be getting a similar one, considering the fact that they are in a position to't positioned the virus in you whilst pregnant. i became apprehensive approximately it, yet do you comprehend that a pregnant woman's immune gadget isn't comparable to a non-pregnant woman. And in case you have been to get the H1N1 flu it would desire to kill you. Sorry to be so blunt, yet that's what replaced my strategies. I have been given it whilst i became approximately 30 weeks and that i'm now 36 and each little thing is wonderful with my little boy.

"Influenza vaccine does not affect the safety of mothers who are breastfeeding or their infants. Breastfeeding does not adversely affect the immune response and is not a contraindication for vaccination."
