Many doctors recommend that women who are pregnant get a flu shot during flu season, and that their significant others should also get a flu shot as well to be on the safe side.

Interestingly, a study was conducted in the past on baby monkeys by the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of North Carolina and Chapel Hill, and the study showed that flu shots during pregnancy may offer a benefit to the baby not previously known. According to the study, getting a flu shot during pregnancy may prevent an increased risk of schizophrenia in the baby.
