Immunizations

Women will be informed of advised immunizations. Vaccinations that are safe and recommended during pregnancy include the flu shot (recommended during flu season) and pertussis vaccine or Tdap (given at 27-32 weeks). Boosters of the MMR and varicella vaccines are given postpartum, if required.

Information on Covid-19 vaccination during in pregnancy is evolving rapidly. At present, an individualized discussion of the pros and cons of vaccination between a woman and her OB is recommended.
