The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is a new type of vaccine that has been shown to be effective and to have a good safety profile. It has not yet been assessed in pregnancy so it has been advised that until more information is available, those who are pregnant should not take this vaccine.
Flu Vaccination
All pregnant women are encouraged to book an appointment with their GP or local pharmacy to access the free flu jab as soon as possible. The flu jab is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself this winter. Public Health England research has highlighted that if you get both COVID-19 and flu at the same time, you are much more likely to be seriously ill than if you are infected with one virus alone.Read this link for further information about the COVID-19 vaccine:
