My wife and I are thinking about trying to start a family. We received the flu shot earlier this month. Unfortunately the pharmacist stated that they were out of the mercury-free shots.

What impact, if any, would receiving the flu shot last week have on a pregnancy in the next few months?

Thanks in advance.
