If you are pregnant, or planning on becoming pregnant, it’s important that you know which vaccines you need in order to protect yourself and your child.

Your baby gets immunity from many diseases while you are pregnant. This immunity is important, since it will help your baby during his or her first months. It is also important to know that you may need other vaccines during or after your pregnancy.

You may have questions about receiving vaccines while you are pregnant. Many parents share the same concerns, so here are the top seven things you should know about pregnancy and vaccines.

Traveling outside of the United States? Take some time to research which vaccines you may need for the country you will be visiting. Planning ahead is very important, since some vaccines may need to be given on a schedule or require more than one shot. Along with the routine vaccines here in the United States, there are also recommended and required vaccines depending on where you are going.
