Immunisations during pregnancy are a safe and routine way to protect both you and your baby from serious infections.
For over 20 years, vaccines like whooping cough, RSV, flu and COVID-19 have helped expectant mothers pass vital antibodies to their babies through the placenta, providing early protection after birth.
Research shows that babies born to immunised mothers are 70% less likely to get whooping cough, and the flu vaccine can reduce the risk of stillbirth by 51%.
Immunisation also lowers the chances of severe illness from flu or COVID-19 during pregnancy, keeping both mother and baby safer.
A simple shot can offer powerful protection.
