"I went to the doctor and he advised me that I take the vaccine. I took, I have no fear, "said Karoline, pregnant with second child , Isadora, who must be born next month.
Karoline has a daughter, 3 years old, little Anna Luize. The pregnancy was complicated by Ana in relation to influenza. "At the time the vaccine was not for us, it was just for the elderly. I suffered with a cold that just twitching and could not take medicine, "he said.
The availability of flu vaccine this year also for pregnant women was due to the high rate of deaths from the H1N1 (Swine) in 2010.
One of the justifications for that pregnant woman fear the vaccine is the reaction. "I made the vaccine a month ago and have not had any type of reaction," since demystifies Karoline.
The future mom did all the prenatal health clinic in the village Cardia, which facilitated the flu vaccination. "I knew I had vaccine for pregnant women. It was there in the office that they have noted the recommendation on the cards and I have already vaccinated, "he said.

"It's important to get vaccinated because the dose is for various types of influenza," he warns. The doctor says that the fear of the vaccine exists for the account of a difficult to break a taboo in society.
"There is a taboo that says that with the vaccine, the person gets the flu. And pregnant women are very afraid, "said the doctor.

According to the doctor, there are few who have reactions due to the vaccine.
Marli said that pregnant women can receive medicines against the flu during pregnancy, but always with a doctor. "We ask you not to medicate themselves because they can harm the baby."
