    a GP recommended it to me but I've opted not to. There have been a lot adverse reactions to the current flu vax in young children, and it is no longer offered to under 5's. Even though repeated information says it is safe for pregnant women, that's not enough reassurance for me. Having said that, I've never had the flu before so think I have strong natural immunity.
