I am having a Mommy makeover in mid-December and recently our company has given us vouchers for free flu shots. Since I am the type that always seems to get a cold between January - February would it be safe to get a flu shot this close to surgery. Should I just avoid the flu shot altogether this year? Since I am still 6 weeks out am I safe to have one now?
