Vaccinations in pregnancy help protect your baby from serious infections in their first weeks of life, when they are most vulnerable.

The NHS offers several recommended vaccines during pregnancy, which help pass protection to your baby before they are born.

If you are pregnant and unsure about your vaccines, please speak to your midwife or a member of our team for advice and support.
