Duke doctor explains why you need to get a flu shot
The 2016 flu season is underway and the CDC is doubling down on its message urging Americans to get their vaccines as soon as they can.ABC11 spoke with Duke Health's Philip Heine, the Director of Maternal and Fetal Medicine, to debunk misconceptions about the flu.More than anything Dr. Heine said he wants people to know "that the flu vaccine does not cause the flu."He said he believes it's safe for everyone but he's especially urging expecting mothers to get vaccinated."Pregnant women are at risk for flu-related complications, actually more at risk than the general population," Heine said.According to the doctor, the shot is safe for both the mother and child at any point during the pregnancy, and it is beneficial to the child as well as the mother.
