Vaccine and Clinical Trials

Antinatal vaccinations

Pregnancy-related vaccinations may protect both the expectant mother and the unborn child from antibody-preventable illnesses. Due to the fact that their immune system has not fully developed, newborns are at a significant risk of suffering from severe illnesses and dying from some fatal diseases. One goal of immunizing expectant mothers is to increase the amount of maternal counteracting agents—proteins that fight disease—transmitted to the unborn child, potentially protecting them from unstoppable infection.
