As virus season approaches, it's important to consider RSV protection for newborns. Expecting parents have options to help safeguard their babies against the virus.

One option is a vaccine for pregnant people. This vaccine protects both the pregnant person and their baby from RSV, starting from birth. The antibodies produced are passed to the baby, offering essential protection during their most vulnerable first few months of life.

Here's what you should know about the vaccine:

Purpose: Protects your baby after birth.
Timing: Administered between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy.

Safety: It is an inactivated (non-live) vaccine that has been tested for safety during pregnancy.

Cost: Available at select pharmacies, with an approximate cost of $300.

Contact your midwife to see if this is the right choice for you and your family.

In June of last year, MABC midwives Marella Falat and Rachel Rees led an Emergency Childbirth for Firefighters training at Delta Fire Hall #4—an initiative MABC learned about through an Engagement Compensation submission.

The goal? Equip firefighters with essential, hands-on skills for rare but high-stakes birth emergencies. Using birthing models, placenta props, and emergency kits, Marella and Rachel taught life-saving interventions like aortic compression and how to respond to shoulder dystocia—while also emphasizing what normal birth looks and sounds like.

This cross-disciplinary collaboration is a reminder of the powerful impact midwives can have beyond their own clinical work. Read more about their experience here: https://www.bcmidwives.com/cgi/page.cgi/_zine.html/News_and_updates/Emergency_Childbirth_for_Firefighters_Training
