Pregnancy is one of the most delicate periods in a woman’s life and there are never too many precautions. During the nine months of waiting and after childbirth, the woman, the fetus and the future baby are at a greater risk of infections. Thus, it’s a good idea to get vaccinated. The vaccine protects you from the flu but also from its complications and consequences. Furthermore, the vaccine protects your baby thanks to your antibodies (produced after getting the vaccine) that pass to him/her through the placenta. Remember that babies cannot be vaccinated before the start of the third month of life (61st day), so the pregnancy influenza vaccine is the only way you can protect your child.
