Call the doctor/health dept. Where you are getting the shot and ask them. I don't think it will affect your chances of getting pregnant, but I think that it could effect the unborn child if you are.

I went to the health dept. To get a flu shot, I told them I was pregnant and they would not give it to me. They said it is safe to get one in the 3rd to 4th trimester. So if I were you I wouldn't get one.
