Vaccination to Female and pregnant mothers
Vaccination is a crucial part of preventive healthcare, especially for women and pregnant mothers. Vaccines protect against various infectious diseases that can pose significant risks to both the mother and the developing baby. At Vatsalya Hospital, Bhilwara, we emphasize the importance of vaccination and offer comprehensive vaccination services tailored to the needs of women and expectant mothers.
Importance of Vaccination for Women
Vaccination is essential for women at all stages of life. It helps prevent diseases that can lead to serious health complications, reduce the spread of infections, and protect future pregnancies. Key vaccines for women include:
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine
Protects against HPV, which can cause cervical cancer and other types of cancers.
Hepatitis B Vaccine
Prevents hepatitis B, a liver infection that can be transmitted through blood and bodily fluids.
Influenza (Flu) Vaccine
Recommended annually to prevent the flu, which can be particularly severe in pregnant women.
Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap) Vaccine
Protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough (pertussis), the latter of which can be especially dangerous for newborns.
Vaccination During Pregnancy
Vaccination during pregnancy is vital for protecting both the mother and the baby from serious diseases. Certain vaccines are recommended during pregnancy to provide immunity to the newborn during the first few months of life, when they are most vulnerable.
Key Vaccines for Pregnant Mothers:
Influenza (Flu) Vaccine:
The flu vaccine is safe and recommended during any trimester of pregnancy. It protects the mother from severe illness and complications and also provides protection to the baby for several months after birth.
Tetanus, Diphtheria
The Tdap vaccine is recommended during the third trimester (between 27 and 36 weeks) of each pregnancy. It protects the newborn from whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease that can be life-threatening for infants.
Hepatitis B Vaccine
Pregnant women who are at risk of hepatitis B infection or have not been vaccinated previously should receive the hepatitis B vaccine to protect themselves and their babies from the virus.
COVID-19 Vaccine
COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for pregnant women to protect against severe illness, complications, and potential risks to the baby. The vaccine is considered safe during pregnancy.
