VACCINES IN PREGNANCY

CDC Recommendations for Vaccines in Pregnancy 

ACOG RSV Vaccine Recommendation

We recommend our patients get both the Tdap and flu vaccines during pregnancy.  For your convenience, we can administer the Tdap vaccine while you’re here for an office visit. Although the flu vaccine is not available in our office, it is available at many pharmacies in the mid-state area. Please talk to your provider if you have additional questions.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) recommends the RSV vaccine if you fall into the timing criteria; you are 32 to 36 weeks pregnant from September to January. That vaccine is not available in our office, but should be accessible at your local pharmacy.
