    Just wondering is there any pregnant women out there who are concidering getting the swine flu jab . My wife is 24 weeks pregnant and there has been a few cases of the flu reported localy .
    All i seem to be able to find online are reasons for getting the jab, its hard to find any obvious reasons not to get it .
    Has anybody come accross any information that says there is a risk like Thalidimide back in the 60s or any related damage that could be caused to the baby ????
    Any information anybody has would be appreciated ,

    Thanks , concerned dad

    you need to talk to your GP if you are concerned. The HSE and Public health agencies have provided information regarding this and have distributed it widely.
