Free flu jab for pregnant women
Pregnancy naturally weakens the body’s immune system. The flu jab is the safest way to help protect mother and baby against flu and you can get a free flu jab at any stage within your pregnancy. We are able to offer the flu jab if you are attending the hospital for an appointment please ask at reception on arrival or speak to your midwife.
