Understanding maternal vaccination

Authors

Abstract

Vaccination programmes have traditionally focused on infants, young children and older people. However, maternal vaccination is an important strategy used to provide protection against infection for both mothers and infants. This article explores this activity, describing which vaccines are offered during pregnancy, and the rationale behind this. It also considers what is behind the modest vaccine coverage rates seen and suggests how these may be addressed.
