Abstract:
Maternal vaccination against influenza (commonly known as the flu) and the novel coronavirus (widely referred to as COVID-19) represents an effective strategy for infection prevention during pregnancy. The administration of inactivated flu vaccine during pregnancy is safe, and available evidence does not show adverse effects on maternal or neonatal outcomes such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, or neonatal low birth weight. Both inactivated flu vaccines and inactivated COVID-19 vaccines have demonstrated protective efficacy when administered during pregnancy. This article summarizes the latest evidence on flu and COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy, providing a scientific foundation to support vaccination practice during pregnancy in China.
