Hello doctor. I want to ask the doctor, that we have just been married and have had sex without using any protection, and after a while I want to give my wife HPV vaccination for cervical cancer, and I give my wife I took a pregnancy test and nothing happened, and I decided to give my wife an HPV injection for cervical cancer, and after 1 month of injection, my wife missed her period, and I asked the doctor at the injection site, The doctor said it might be a problem with the injection, and continued to get the Flu shot before getting pregnant, and a few days later I tried it on my wife and there were 2 lines, and I sent my wife to have an ultrasound, the doctor said yes. It's been 4 weeks and 4 days, I'm so worried, I haven't been able to eat or sleep since that day, my wife got the first injection, the doctor asked if there are 2 types of cervical cancer and flu vaccines. Does it affect the fetus, I hope the doctor will tell me and what I should do, please tell me honestly, thank you!

Hi there.
First of all, congratulations on having a baby soon. There is nothing to worry about if you get the HPV vaccine and find out later that you are pregnant. According to the recommendations of the Vaccine company, it does not affect the fetus at all. This vaccine is made from the body of the HPV virus, so it is not virulent and does not affect you at all. When pregnant, you should stop the booster shots, after giving birth, you should inject the remaining shots.
As for the flu vaccine, it is recommended to be vaccinated at any time during pregnancy, so this shot not only does not affect the baby but also is good for both mother and baby.
Best regards.
