Some vaccines can be given during pregnancy without risk to the mother or baby and that provide protection against the disease, while others are only indicated in specific situations, i.e. in the event of an epidemic of the disease in the city where the woman lives, for example.
Some vaccines are made with the attenuated virus, which is a reduced function and is therefore not recommended during pregnancy, as they can endanger the life of the pregnanter and the baby, so before being vaccinated the pregnantness should consult the obstetrician to assess whether she can get a safe vaccine.
- Some vaccines may be given during pregnancy without risk of complications for the mother or baby.
- One vaccine is influenza.
- Which is very important for pregnant women.
- As they are considered to be at risk of complications from the virus.
- It is therefore recommended that pregnant women take the vaccine during the period in which vaccination campaigns are launched.
- Which usually occurs at the time of year when more cases of influenza occur.
In addition to the flu vaccine, it is important that women receive the tpa vaccine, which is the triple bacterium, which protects against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough, or dT, which offers protection against diphtheria and tetanus.This vaccine is important because in addition to protecting the pregnant, the antibodies produced are transmitted to the fetus, ensuring the protection of the baby in the first months of life until he can be vaccinated.The amount of doses to be administered depends on the woman’s vaccination history, if not vaccinated, it is recommended to administer 2 doses from week 20 gestation with a 1 month interval between doses.
The hepatitis B vaccine is also recommended for pregnant women at risk of infection with the virus responsible for the disease, and three doses are recommended.
If the woman has not been vaccinated during pregnancy, it is important that she receives the vaccine shortly after the baby is born to reduce the risk of infection.
Some other vaccines listed in the vaccination schedule can only be given in specific situations, i.e. if a disease has been reported in the family or in the city where you live, for example, vaccination is recommended to protect both the mother and the baby.These vaccines include:
Because these vaccines can only be given in certain situations, they are not available through the unified health system and women should seek a private vaccination clinic to receive the vaccine.
Some vaccines are not recommended during pregnancy because these vaccines are made with the attenuated infectious agent, that is, with its reduced infectious capacity, so only the immune system reacts and produces antibodies to this virus; However, due to the risk of transmission to the baby, it is recommended not to administer these vaccines to avoid complications.
The contraxed vaccines are
Since these vaccines cannot be given during pregnancy, it is recommended that the woman always keep the vaccines up to date.
Although these vaccines are not indicated during pregnancy, they can be given after the birth of the baby and during lactation, as there is no risk of transmission to the baby through milk, with the exception of the dengue vaccine, which remains contracted due to the fact that it is still recent and that more studies related to its effects and its relationship to pregnancy are needed.
