Updated Advice for the Care of Pregnant Women
Dear Obstetric Shared Care GPs,
STATEMENT ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF SEASONAL INFLUENZA VACCINES IN 2020
Influenza vaccination for pregnant women:
- Influenza vaccine is recommended in every pregnancy and at any stage of pregnancy.
- Influenza vaccine can safely be given at the same time as pertussis vaccine.
- For women who received an influenza vaccine in 2019, revaccinate if the 2020 influenza vaccine becomes available before the end of pregnancy.
- For women who receive an influenza vaccine before becoming pregnant, revaccinate during pregnancy to protect the unborn infant.
