Reviews

• Anfisa: two children, Stavropol: « Today received a strange letter from the doctor. The letter says that I'm in a risk group, what kind of group do not understand? But, in general, the essence of the letter is this, I'm offered to get vaccinated against pneumonia and the flu, provided that I am now at the 20th week of pregnancy. We planned the child and pregnancy desired, there are no pathologies, the baby develops normally. I'm wondering if the vaccine is being administered during this period, and are there any risks associated with vaccination? Who did the inoculations, tell me how effective it is? "
• Svetlana: 1 child, Moscow: " I was vaccinated on a routine basis, but not during pregnancy, but before its onset. The vaccine was made consciously, on the recommendation of the therapist, after consulting with a gynecologist, she confirmed the correctness of the decision. I think that if a doctor advises you to get vaccinated, then you should not doubt his competence. Put the vaccine and do not worry about it. »
• Alina: three children Yekaterinburg: « Inoculate if the doctor advises. You never know what will happen. In the transport or polyclinic, someone sneezes at you and that's it. This will be enough to become infected. I vaccinated 3 times and only the last time, it was done not in pregnancy, but in advance. But she did not get sick and gave birth to three children. "
