During World Immunization Week, we're reminding our patients that vaccines are powerful tools to protect both you and your baby — before, during, and after pregnancy.

Here's what we recommend at our practice:

🩼Flu Vaccine (Influenza)
Recommended in any trimester during flu season. It lowers your risk of severe illness and passes protective antibodies to your newborn.

🩼RSV Vaccine
A newer but important option. Given during pregnancy (typically 32–36 weeks), it helps prevent severe RSV disease in infants — a leading cause of hospitalization in young babies.

🩼 Adacel Quadra (a Tdap-IPV vaccine) is considered safe and is recommended during pregnancy. Given 28 -34 weeks to protect against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, and inactivated poliovirus (Tdap-IPV).

NB: Give RSV and Adacel Quadra vaccines 2 weeks apart.

We do everything we can, every single day, to bring healthy babies into the world. But sometimes, despite our best efforts, things happen that are beyond anyone’s control.
