Immunization in pregnancy
Must weigh several factors: risk of exposure, maternal risk, fetal risk, risk from vaccine / toxoid.
Rule of thumb: No live vaccines unless:
- Susceptibility / exposure probable and
- Disease threat to woman / fetus – vaccine risk
Only routinely administrated immunization during pregnancy:
- Tetanus – diphtheria toxoids
- At-risk group for Hep B virus
- MMR: 3 months before pregnancy or immediate postpartum
- Polio / yellow fever vaccine – when traveling to endemic area
Immune globulins
- After exposure to: measles, Hep A, B, tetanus, chickenpox or rabies
- VZIG for newborns of mothers who develop chickenpox 5 days before, until 2 days after delivery
- All women without a history of chickenpox should be passively immunized with VZIG within 98h of an exposure to chickenpox
