Vaccination During Pregnancy

Shield yourself and your baby by getting the right vaccines before, during, and after pregnancy.

Vaccines you get before and during your pregnancy plays an important role in protecting your health, and they guard your baby’s health as well. Your immunity is your baby’s first defence against serious illnesses.

Why Pregnancy Vaccination Matters

Pregnancy vaccination protects both you and your baby, since certain infections carry a higher risk during pregnancy than at other times. Vaccination in pregnancy is generally timed around specific windows in each trimester, chosen to give your baby the best possible protection through antibodies passed on before birth. Your obstetrician will confirm exactly which vaccines apply to your specific pregnancy, since recommendations can vary based on your health history and local guidance.
