Maternal vaccines are immunizations administered to pregnant individuals to provide protection against certain infections for both the mother and the newborn. These vaccines aim to confer passive immunity to the infant during the vulnerable period when they are too young to receive vaccinations themselves. Common maternal vaccines include the influenza vaccine, which helps prevent flu-related complications during pregnancy, and the Tdap vaccine, which protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. Additionally, maternal immunization against certain infections, such as Group B Streptococcus and Hepatitis B, is recommended in specific situations. Maternal vaccination is a critical component of prenatal care, reducing the risk of adverse outcomes for both the mother and the infant. The antibodies generated in response to vaccination are transferred across the placenta, offering protection to the newborn during the first months of life. Promoting awareness, education, and access to maternal vaccines is essential for optimizing maternal and child health outcomes. Ongoing research aims to expand the range of vaccines available for maternal immunization and enhance global efforts to protect vulnerable populations during pregnancy.
