Summary

Vaccination during pregnancy is an effective route of protecting pregnant individuals, their fetuses, and neonates from morbidity and mortality of vaccine preventable diseases. There is sufficient epidemiologic safety data to support routine administration of influenza vaccine, Tdap, and COVID-19 vaccine, however there are poor rates of vaccine uptake in pregnancy due to low vaccine confidence and barriers to care. Routine inactivated childhood vaccines, travel vaccines, and live attenuated vaccine recommendations are reviewed, and recommendations are made based on weighing the risk of exposure, risk of the vaccination, and necessity of travel.
