Influenza vaccination during pregnancy

Vaccination remains the best protection pregnant women and their newborn babies have against influenza. Influenza infection during pregnancy can lead to premature delivery and even death in newborns and very young babies. The influenza vaccination is free to pregnant women on the National Immunisation Program.  Pregnant women can have the vaccine at any time during pregnancy and they benefit from it all through the year. 

An educational video is available for pregnant women here.

Pertussis

NSW Health has introduced an antenatal pertussis vaccination program to offer free Boostrix vaccine to all pregnant women in the third trimester (preferably at 28 weeks).

The free whooping cough vaccine during pregnancy is the best way to protect newborns from day one with studies showing that it is more than 90 per cent effective in preventing whooping cough in infants.
