Information about vaccinations in pregnancy

The following vaccinations in pregnancy can help keep you and your baby safe:

• Whooping cough (pertussis)
• Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) - see below
• Flu (influenza)
• COVID-19

Ask your nurse or midwife about these vaccines.

From 1 September 2024, pregnant women will be offered a vaccine to help protect their babies against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is a common cause of respiratory tract infections. Babies under one are at a greater risk of serious illness due to RSV.

You can find out more about whooping cough, RSV, flu and COVID-19 vaccinations on the NHS - Wales website.
