I don't think my OB offers flu shots.
I asked my (new) pediatrician if they do flu shots for parents and they don't.
Last time I went to costco they wouldn't give me one.

My work offered them for free. My doctor's office offers it to me every time I go.
Did you try Walgreen's or CVS?

I got mine at my OB's but I think you can get a preservative free shot at CVS.

I got mine at our town's flu shot clinic (not pregnant though). Got one from Costco one year!

My midwife wouldn't give it to me in the office because I wasn't pregnant then. If I had been, she would have done it there.

They were doing it at DH's work so I got mine there. Have you tried your local pharmacy?

I got a waiver form from my OB that they said I could take anywhere to get a flu shot. They said the CVS Minute Clinic is good about taking the waiver form.

I got it at my OB's office. I think it's worth calling to ask if they do it for pregnant patients.

I got mine at CVS, but had to call several first to find one that had the preservative free one in stock. They took my insurance and I didn't have to pay anything. If you have to pay it's only $30.

I got one at an urgent care clinic that has a flu shot sign hanging up outside! It was $15, which is less than my co-pay.

I got mine at Walgreens, my sister is the pharmacist there so she called around to find me a preservative free shot.

My office has a flu clinic each year. A nurse comes to our office so that's where I got mine.

Did you call your OB and ask? If they don't give it out, they should be able to recommend you to someone that does. Your PCP would be another office to try calling.

I went to Walgreens. Be sure to ask for the preservative free one because despite the fact that I was a very obvious 6 months pregnant, they STILL gave me the one with mercury. Awesome. I freaked out. I'll only go to my doc now. I belong to a medical group that offered flu shot clinics

I went to Duane Reade (equivalent of Walgreen's here in NYC). The pharmacist there was good about explaining the difference between the spray (bad! if pregnant) and the shot (we should get the preservative free as it's safest for pregnant ladies). I would imagine most pharmacies stock either - you just have to make sure and tell them you're pregnant so they give you the right one.

My OB offered and gave me one for both my pregnancies.

I got mine from work, but you could definitely try walgreens or cvs!

My work had a clinic and they did mine last year, although the nurse had to call to make sure she was giving me the right one...

My OB gave it to me last year when I was pregnant and will go to CVS this year.
