Immunisations
During pregnancy, it is important you are protected against infections and illnesses that can be harmful to you and your baby. The best way to be sure of this protection is to get the recommended vaccinations at the appropriate time.
Pregnant women are recommended to get the flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine at any stage of pregnancy, and whooping cough vaccine from 16 weeks of pregnancy. They can be given at the same time or separately.

Pēpi are born with some immunity to certain infections because antibodies are passed on to them through the placenta before birth. However pēpi and tamariki need immunisations to provide ongoing protection from many life-threatening diseases. The World Health Organisation and the Ministry of Health recommend immunising your pēpi/tamariki. Speak to you midwife, doctor or nurse if you have questions.
