Immunizations for pregnancy

What vaccines are recommended?

Get vaccinated before you get pregnant!

Whether it is your first baby, or you are planning to have another child, talk with your doctor about which shots you need.

If you miss getting these shots (MMR, chickenpox) before becoming pregnant, you can get them after your baby is born.

 We recommend that pregnant people have the Tdap, flu, COVID-19, and RSV vaccine to protect the baby during pregnancy until they are old enough to be immunized against these diseases! Ask your doctor for:

Protect your baby. To maximize your child's protection:

  • Keep your baby away from sick people
  • Ask family, friends, and caregivers to get their flu shot and make sure they are up to date on other shots, like whooping cough and measles
  • Remind people around your baby to wash their hands often
