Which vaccines are contraindicated in pregnancy?
Some vaccines are not recommended during pregnancy, such as:
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
- Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
- Live influenza vaccine (nasal flu vaccine)
- Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine.
- Certain travel vaccines: yellow fever, typhoid fever, and Japanese encephalitis.
Which vaccine should be given at 8 weeks old?
The 6-in-1 vaccine is given to babies when they’re 8, 12 and 16 weeks old. They need 3 doses to make sure they develop strong immunity to the conditions the vaccine protects against. Every time another dose of the vaccine is given, your baby’s immune response increases.
Why is Tdap given postpartum?
Cocooning is the administration of Tdap to previously unvaccinated family members and caregivers, and women in the immediate postpartum period, in order to provide a protective cocoon of immunity around the newborn.
Which vaccines should not be administered at the same time?
The effect of nonsimultaneous administration of rubella, mumps, varicella, and yellow fever vaccines is unknown. Two or more injectable or nasally administered live vaccines not administered on the same day should be separated by at least 4 weeks (Table 3-4), to minimize the potential risk for interference.
Is diphtheria vaccine safe in pregnancy?
The tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine is safe, for both mother and infant, to administer any time during pregnancy.
Why is rubella vaccine contraindicated in pregnancy?
Theoretically the live attenuated virus in a vaccine could cross the placenta and result in viral infection of the fetus. Owing to this concern, most live attenuated vaccines, including the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and varicella vaccines, are contraindicated during pregnancy.
What shots does a 2 month old get?
At 1 to 2 months, your baby should receive vaccines to protect them from the following diseases:
- Hepatitis B (HepB) (2nd dose)
- Diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pertussis) (DTaP) (1st dose)
- Haemophilus influenzae type b disease (Hib) (1st dose)
- Polio (IPV) (1st dose)
- Pneumococcal disease (PCV13) (1st dose)
Why do I need Tdap every pregnancy?
The amount of whooping cough antibodies in your body decreases over time. That is why CDC recommends you get a Tdap vaccine during each pregnancy, even if your pregnancies are only a year or two apart. Doing so allows each of your babies to get the greatest number of protective antibodies and best protection possible.
Can you give 2 Live vaccines together?
Vaccination should not be deferred because multiple vaccines are needed. All live vaccines (MMR, varicella, live attenuated influenza, yellow fever, and oral typhoid) can be given at the same visit if indicated.
