Can Flu Vaccine Cause Any Problem During Pregnancy?
My daughter is 7 months pregnant and had a flu vacine today. About 2 hours later she experienced severe pain in her chest and difficulty breathing. She went to the ER and was diagnosed with a bronchial spasm. She has no allergies, has never had asthma. Has there been any reports of bronchial complications due the flu vaccine? They gave her a nebulizer treatment and have her on an inhaler. Can this adversely affect the baby?
