I got mine done as soon as I could, my last one was still fine for me but when I asked my doctor and she explained how it helps the baby the arm pain for a couple days was more than worth it, and then I made sure my husband had his beforehand too, so I know that the ppl around the baby the most will all have it

Oops accidental post.

Between week 25 and 32 is advised here in Belgium. That way you give your baby enough anti-bodies until he/she is old enough to get vaccinated for it him/herself. They also advise it for adults here that come in close contact with the baby a lot, but not sure if that is needed if you got vaccinated during pregnancy in time. My husband got vaccinated too anyway, since the vaccin is free here.
