It is important to stay up-to-date on your vaccines before, during and after pregnancy. There are three vaccines that are safe and recommended during pregnancy:
• Flu shot - This also is called the influenza vaccine. It's recommended for people who are pregnant during flu season.
• Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis vaccine - This also is called Tdap. One dose of Tdap vaccine is recommended during each pregnancy. Getting the Tdap vaccine during pregnancy helps protect your newborn from whooping cough, also called pertussis.
• Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine - RSV is another virus that spreads easily and can be dangerous for babies.
If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, make an appointment with Dr. Pham. She is happy to talk about what vaccines you might need to protect you and your baby.
