Yes you can. the " experts" pick 3 strains of the flu each season and sometimes they get it wrong or sometimes yourr just unlucky and catch a strain thats not one of the 3 or sometimes the strains mutate so the flu shot doesn't work.  I never bother getting the flu shot for this reason,  just rely on my body's immune system, making sure I eat well, rest and exercise. You should go to the doctor all the same as youre pregnant and you one to make sure you dont have something else conpletely like "dengue" or something strange which is on the rise here in Perth WA. Not sure where you are... all the best hun:)

Flu shot can't fight all strands of the flu :-/ unfortunately you can still catch the flu even with the shot is what I've come to understand
