But several news studies find getting a seasonal flu vaccine while pregnant protects newborns from the flu for months after birth. Experts say it won't cause a miscarriage.

The latest data on the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines was presented at the annual meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
