So i'm in paranoid pre-father mode, and wondering how much I should be pushing MrsSlim to go for a preventative jab.
She is first trimester currently.
I've read bits and pieces of conflicting information regarding risks, does anyone have a reasonable authority on the subject?
Any reliable reading links appreciated.

I wold follow whatever is the NHS advice on the matter, otherwise you could just disappear down a hole of utter confusion and contradiction.

As it happens, I was just in a maternity ward for an obstetrics appointment with my wife- posters everywhere advising to get the flu jab. Wife has had it for number one and just recently again for child number 2. Get it done.

FWIW "does anyone have a reasonable authority on the subject?" your local healthcare authority does, trust them not a mountain bike website.

Congratulations btw!
