All vaccines are not safe during pregnancy. The vaccines that contain killed (inactivated) viruses can be given safely during pregnancy whereas; live vaccines are contra-indicated in pregnancy. The safety of any vaccine during pregnancy should be discussed with doctor beforehand. The vaccines that are considered safe during pregnancy are:<\/p>

  • Hepatitis\u00a0B:<\/strong>strong>\u00a0Pregnant women who are not immunized and are at high risk for acquiring the disease can receive this vaccine. It protects the mother as well as the baby against infection, both before and after the delivery. Three doses at 0, 1 and 6 months are required to have immunity.<\/li>
  • Influenza (Inactivated):\u00a0<\/strong>This vaccine can prevent serious illness in the mother during pregnancy and is recommended in all pregnant women during the flu season. Influenza nasal spray is made up of live virus and hence should be avoided in pregnancy.<\/li>
  • \u00a0Tetanus\/Diphtheria\/Pertussis (Tdap):<\/strong>\u00a0Tdap protects the mother and the baby from three deadly diseases. One dose of Tdap is recommended between 27 and 36 weeks in every pregnancy regardless of past immunization. Tdap should be administered immediately after the birth of your baby if not administered during pregnancy.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
