Torbay's Public Health Team is supporting Public Health England's national 2016 seasonal flu campaign by encouraging the uptake of the flu vaccine for pregnant women.
If you are pregnant and think you may have flu you should talk to your doctor urgently as there is a prescribed medicine which may help or reduce the risk of complications. This medicine needs to be taken as soon as possible after the symptoms appear.
You can get the free flu vaccine from your GP or it may also be available from your pharmacist or midwife. A flu vaccine is needed for each pregnancy.
