Pregnant women have been advised they are not only at risk from swine flu, but from another strain of flu which is also circulating.
Hospitals have reported that influenza B is also causing complications in pregnant women this winter and they should be protected against it.
For this reason they should avail of the seasonal flu vaccine even if they have already received the swine flu jab this winter or last year.
The seasonal flu vaccine protects against all the strains of flu which are a threat this winter, including swine flu and influenza B.
