Hi Mrs,
After speaking with a nurse, it is best to wait about 4-5 days between two large vaccines such as measles and flu. The flu shot is usually given alone, whether you are pregnant or not, simply to reduce the risk of adverse reactions
For the measles vaccine, do you know which vaccine you're getting? Where will you receive these injections?
In order to answer your questions more completely, I refer you to the Women's Health Center of the Chicoutimi Hospital: 418-541-1000. The receptionist at the hospital will be able to transfer you.
I hope that I have been able to help you,
Rachel Lavoie, pharmacy student
