The NHS offers pregnant women vaccinations that help protect them and their babies during and after pregnancy. Vaccines help the body's natural defence system (the immune system) to develop protective antibodies.
Vaccination can help prevent disease or make the illness less serious. Antibodies developed while pregnant pass to the unborn baby and gianna nannini help to protect them in their first few months of life.
Vaccinations recommended in pregnancy are covid, flu, RSV and whooping cough. The flu and covid vaccines can be received at any point during pregnancy. The RSV vaccine should be received around the 28-week kim richards antenatal appointment, but can be received any time after 28 weeks. And the whooping cough vaccine can be received from 16 weeks.
