Dtap and Flu shot

I had to get the dtap shot today and next week the flu. I am 37 weeks pregnant and have 18 days until my due date. My husband has to get both and my 6 year old has to get the flu shot since she has already had Dtap. Anyone else having to get these shots?

Hi I was admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago and I got both. The ACOG guidelines recommends the dtap vaccine especially sine there has been an increase in baby purtusis. It's safe that and the flu vaccine aren't live vaccines
