Influenza and whooping cough can be deadly, especially in a baby’s first few months of life. Vaccinating women against these diseases during each pregnancy helps protect both them and their babies. Studies show flu and whooping cough vaccines are very safe for pregnant women and developing babies.
Key Points:
- Women with influenza are more than twice as likely to be hospitalized if they are pregnant.
- Sixty-nine percent of reported whooping cough deaths occur in babies less than 2 months old.
- Only 1 in 3 US pregnant women receive both flu and whooping cough vaccines.
