MotherToBaby knows that people who are pregnant have a lot to remember. Between taking a prenatal vitamin every day, getting blood work done, attending prenatal visits, and preparing for baby’s arrival, the pregnancy to-do list can feel never-ending. In an effort to provide a simplified reminder about the four vaccines recommended in pregnancy and why they are each so important, MotherToBaby has created a helpful infographic available for download below.

“This infographic is a great reminder of the many benefits vaccinations offer during pregnancy” shared Kirstie Perrotta, MPH, co-chair of MotherToBaby’s Emerging Issues Task Force. “Getting these vaccines on time is one of the most important things a pregnant person can do for their health and the health of their baby.”

MotherToBaby also has other resources available on the topic of vaccination in pregnancy.
