Vaccines

Pregnant women are at an increased risk for flu.

Vaccination is important whether you are HIV positive or negative.

The flu vaccine should contain seasonal and H1N1 vaccines.

The COVID-19 vaccine is also important and safe in pregnancy. 

Hepatitis A (HAV), hepatitis B (HBV) and pneumococcal vaccines can be used during pregnancy.

Only live vaccines (including measles, mumps and rubella) should not be used during pregnancy.
