Re: New Study: Flu Shots in Pregnancy May Help Newborns

Do you have any information regarding the flu vaccine and increased birth defects, and miscarriage, that mothers have with the flu vaccine?

I have been able to find a great deal of information that supports the study the OP has posted.

I agree with your statement about women who have a very healthy diet, are not over stressed etc, being the women that would likely have the least incidence of flu, in most cases. Not in the case of swine flu though.

Personally I don't agree with flu vaccination, but trying to use scare tactics on pregnant women, such as suggesting that they have a increased risk of birth defects and miscarriage, when this is unproven, is misleading, and is unethical.
