Children Vaccines

Risk to a developing fetus from vaccination of the mother during pregnancy is theoretical. No evidence exists of risk to the fetus from vaccinating pregnant women with inactivated virus or bacterial vaccines or toxoids. Live vaccines administered to a pregnant woman pose a theoretical risk to the fetus; therefore, live, attenuated virus and live bacterial vaccines generally are contraindicated during pregnancy.

 

Vaccines help protect the baby against serious diseases. The pregnant women share everything with their baby. That means when they get vaccines, they aren’t just protecting their self but they are giving their baby some early protection too. CDC recommends to get a whooping cough and flu vaccine during each pregnancy to help protect yourself and the baby.
