Which Vaccines Should Pregnant Women Get

As influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) seasons approach the U.S., health leaders focus on pregnant women's vaccination needs.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will conduct a Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity (COCA) webinar on August 10, 2023, to share updated clinical vaccination guidance for pregnant women.

The CDC and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology emphasize the importance of vaccinations for pregnant women and recommend vaccinations against pertussis, flu, and COVID-19 to protect themselves and their babies during the first few months of life.

The CDC says there have been recent declines in vaccination coverage for Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) and flu shots and low uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among pregnant women.

During Thursday's COCA Call, presenters (Naima T. Joseph MD, MPH, Tara C. Jatlaoui, MD, MPH) will give a comprehensive overview of the timing and promotion of vaccines people should receive during pregnancy and provide an update on RSV vaccine candidates for pregnant women. 

This one-hour webinar is scheduled for Thursday, August 10, 2023, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET, at Webinar Link:
