Call to Action: Obstetric Care Professionals Urge Recommended Vaccines During Pregnancy

The Maternal Immunization Task Force urges providers to continuing to offer the following vaccines in pregnancy: influenza; tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap); COVID-19; and respiratory syncytial

virus (RSV).

These vaccines have demonstrated safety and efficacy profiles, leading to their recommendation during pregnancy. The ongoing decrease in vaccination rates in this population calls for our urgent commitment to discuss the evidence-based benefits of vaccinating pregnant people and enabling seamless access.
