It should be OK, but to be on teh safe side, you may want to wait a few more weeks. The flu shot is recommended for women who will be in the second or third trimester during the flu season, so you might be just getting into the second trimester as the season passes. Check with your ob about the shot, as the flu incidence varies from area to area.
