VACCINES AND PREGNANCY
Vaccines are an effective way to protect against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. Ideally vaccinations should have preceded conception and pregnancy and followed the National Adult Vaccination Program. Vaccines should be given to protect the mother-pregnant woman, the fetus, and then the newborn and the infant. The immune response of the pregnant woman to vaccines is considered to be identical to that of the non-pregnant woman. The concentration of antibodies increases with the progression of gestation, and at its end the concentration of antibodies in the newborn is equivalent to that of the mother.
