You should not have an MMR, because this is a "live virus" vaccine and fetuses are very susceptible to rubella, and it can cause defects or miscarriage. Hepatitis B is safe while pregnant. Ask your doctor, they are the only ones you should be having this conversation with.

Depends on the shot. The flu shot you can get. MMR you cannot. Talk to your doctor. Your doctor can write you a note explaining that you cannot get certain shots due to your pregnancy.

I know this for fact. I was going back to nursing school in the fall,and now I cannot.You cannot have any immunizations until your 3rd trimester, and that is only suggested with medically necessary reasons, Like you need to go to a foreign country. I am sorry but you are out of luck until the baby is born. It can cause all sorts of issues with a developing fetus.

You'll probably be able to get around this. Id go talk to the program if its a school, the health services department.
