Im 20 weeks along and it being flu season and as reccommended by my doctor I went to receive my flu shot at our local Rite Aid pharmacy. After filling out the papers, the pharmacist says "I don't know which one to give you since your pregnant." And I asked what she meant and she said "I don't know which brand is better than the others for you." So she emailed someone to ask and after an hour of waiting no reply. So I called my Dr and the nurse said to just get the standard flu shot........which didn't help me when the pharmacist was saying that some brands were better than others...and eventually she picked the one with the least amount of preservatives in it...
So my question is, has any one done research on if It matters what brand you get? Or does it all do it's job the same. And is my little one going to be fine with having the flu shot.

And @kynbar5 definitely wasn't rude. She was just asking what most of us were already wondering.

And like someone else said, i am sure everything will be fine! the only thing I've heard is that the flumist nasal spray is a no-go while preggo bc its live virus, so maybe one injection might be slightly better than the others, I'm sure it's not a huge deal, if you're comfortable getting it to begin with.
