2. To protect the fetus, what vaccines should be given before pregnancy?
Hepatitis B : This is a disease with a high rate of transmission from mother to child during pregnancy. Therefore, to prevent disease for children as well as protect their own health, mothers should be tested for hepatitis B and vaccinated. Influenza: If a pregnant woman has the flu during pregnancy, it also affects the development of the fetus. Especially having the flu in the first trimester, there is a high risk of birth defects in the fetus such as cleft lip, cleft palate, premature birth and low birth weight. Vaccinated, the incidence of influenza will be significantly reduced, the effective time of the vaccine is usually within 1 year. Chickenpox: For people who have never had chickenpox or have not been vaccinated against chickenpox, chickenpox is a priority for vaccination. About 2% of babies whose mothers have chickenpox in the first five months of pregnancy are at risk of birth defects, including deformities, paralysis of the limbs. In addition, you can completely become a carrier of the disease when your baby is born. Diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus: This is a combination vaccine that can effectively prevent the above diseases for children. The number of injections is 1 time only. Diphtheria and pertussis are diseases that can be transmitted directly through the respiratory tract, so the possibility of contracting during pregnancy is very high. Tetanus can be encountered if you are subjective to the wound, because this bacteria is very stable in the natural environment. Measles, mumps, rubella: All these 3 diseases are easily transmitted through the respiratory tract. If a woman has one of these three diseases during pregnancy, the risk of giving birth to a baby with birth defects or malnutrition is very high. Human papillomavirus (HPV): The HPV vaccine is recommended for non-pregnant women ages 9 to 26. Pregnant women are not indicated because the safety of the vaccine has not been studied.

For the first pregnancy: 2 tetanus injections should be given during pregnancy. The first dose can be given from week 20 onwards. After a month, get a second dose.

Next pregnancy: Only get 1 dose of tetanus vaccine if the previous pregnancy has had 2 doses of tetanus vaccine.
