Types of vacinations

What types of vaccination should a pregnant woman take during pregnancy? I am 16 weeks pregnant and would like to know if my doctor forgot to tell me of any kind of vaccination to take.

Most vaccinations are not recommended during pregnancy since they can be dangerous to the baby.  Pregnant women are usually encouraged to get a flu vaccine during flu season.  Other than that, you really shouldn't receive any vaccinations unless you have special circumstances like working in a medical facility, traveling abroad, or having a weakened immune system.
