How to protect you and your baby

Information about vaccinations in pregnancy

During pregnancy, your immune system is naturally weaker than usual.

This can mean you are less likely to fight off infections that can be harmful to you and your baby.

Vaccination is the safest and most effective way of protecting pregnant women and their babies against serious diseases, such as whooping cough (pertussis), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), flu and COVID-19.
