Vaccines protect pregnant individuals and babies while pregnant and breastfeeding

This bulletin is being sent by the Health Care Authority (HCA) in partnership with One Vax Two Lives.

Pregnant people are at much higher risk for complications and death from influenza and COVID-19. Vaccination during pregnancy also helps to protect the newborn from infections like whooping cough during the first few months after birth.

After rigorous research, many vaccines are now strongly recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding people by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and tens of thousands of obstetricians, midwives, family physicians, and other OB providers, including the COVID-19, seasonal influenza, and the Tdap (whooping cough) vaccine.

When it comes to you and your baby's health, having accurate information is vital. The flyers are updated with the latest research into vaccine safety, pregnancy and the whooping cough, and COVID-19 vaccines. Find the answers to all your questions, curated by medical professionals, with links to verified research.
