Does getting a flu shot during the month of pregnancy have an effect?

Patient's question:

Medical history: Leukopenia

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Generally, there is no impact! No need to worry. In the early stages of pregnancy, especially the first 3 months and the 3 months before pregnancy, any medication can potentially affect the development of oocytes and embryos. It is recommended to keep the baby, undergo regular prenatal examinations, perform the Down syndrome screening between weeks 14-19, and the 4D ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening between weeks 22-26. If necessary, an amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood analysis should be conducted between weeks 16-20 to clarify the baby's development inside the uterus. If any abnormalities are detected in the baby, the pregnancy should be terminated promptly.
