Pregnancy vaccinations what you need to know
When you are pregnant vaccines can be a hot topic, but how do you know what is safe and what is not?
This week on The Expert Guide to Parenthood we welcome back our Obstetrician Expert Dr Peter Jurcevic to talk all about vaccines in pregnancy and what you should consider.
We discuss:
- Why it is important for pregnant women to consider being vaccinated during pregnancy
- How vaccines work in pregnancy
- What percentage of the vaccine is transferred to the baby
- How do women know if a vaccine is safe to be given during pregnancy
- Why some vaccines are recommended, and others are not
- Vaccines currently recommended during pregnancy
- How long the vaccines work for
- Side effects to the vaccines recommended
- Are vaccines administered on a schedule, or can you have them all together
- Why some vaccines are given to the mother while others need to wait to be given to the baby when they arrive
- Are there any vaccines which should be considered after birth or in the postpartum period
