preservative-free flu shot

in Pregnant after IF
Is everyone here planning on getting this? I've been told by the nurse at my OB office along with the news, websites, etc that I should be getting a flu shot (especially if you'll be in third tri during winter). The pharm tech at Walgreens yesterday said something about a preservative-free version for pregnant women. My oB nurse never mentioned that but it sounds right. Anyone else have more info?

    I happened to be in my PCPs office this morning for a blood pressure check and they had the preservative free one, so I got mine today.  I usually don't get the flu shot, but I have both times I was pregnant in fall/winter.

    Yes. My MFM said to get the shot that's Thimerosal free.

    This. Thimerosal is controversial because of the mercury exposure, so this is the one to get!
