Why it matters

Maternal antibodies protect the newborn before their own vaccines. Some infections are more severe in pregnancy.

Commonly recommended (international guidance; local schedules vary)

Influenza in flu season.
Tdap (pertussis) each pregnancy, often between 27–36 weeks.
COVID-19 per current national recommendations.
Hepatitis B if at risk — case by case.

Notes

Live vaccines are generally avoided in pregnancy except special situations. Bring vaccination records to prenatal visits.

After birth

Catch up on any missed vaccines; ensure household members vaccinated against pertussis and flu around the newborn.
