My PCP wants me to get this but it's on back order everywhere. My OB says get one regardless....anyone have a regular shot when pregnant? Anyone know if the mercury free versions are available anywhere around the area? TIA

    I ended up getting the seasonal flu shot at my LO's pediatrician's office, even though he isn't born yet. They had the mercury free and even gave one to my DH since he will also be a caregiver. Good luck!

    I called Inova and all of their flu clinics carry a preservative free shot for expectant moms. Just an FYI for anyone looking.

    I got a regular flu shot when pregnant last fall.  I'm fine.  Baby is fine.  DS just got his flu shot on Friday and they were out of the mercury-free one, so we got the one with mercury.  DS is still fine.
