Vaccinations for Pregnant Women
Vaccines during pregnancy are essential to protect both the mother and the baby by passing immunity to the infant. The recommended vaccines include:

• Influenza (Flu) Vaccine: Safe at any stage of pregnancy and helps protect against seasonal flu.
• Tdap Vaccine: Protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). It is recommended to be administered between 27-36 weeks of pregnancy to protect newborns from pertussis.
• COVID-19 Vaccine: Recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women to reduce the risk of severe illness.

Vaccinations for Children
Routine childhood vaccinations are crucial for protecting against diseases like measles, polio, and chickenpox. Key vaccines for children include:

• Hepatitis B (at birth, 1-2 months, 6-18 months)
• DTaP, Polio, MMR, and Varicella (series throughout early childhood)
• HPV Vaccine (starting at age 11-12)
