Maternity Colleges are urging pregnant women to have the flu and Covid-19 vaccines this winter.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) say both vaccines are needed to protect women and their babies.
Flu can be very serious for a small number of pregnant women and their babies, occasionally leading to stillbirth, maternal death and miscarriage.
