Abstract

A vaccine is a preparation capable of inducing a specific and lasting immune response in the vaccinated patient to protect him in the event of exposure to the pathogen, against infection or to mitigate its consequences. Vaccination during pregnancy has a dual objective: to protect the vaccinated pregnant woman from potentially more severe infections due to pregnancy (flu, Covid-19) and to protect the newborn from birth from potentially serious infections during his first months (whooping cough, respiratory syncytial virus [RSV]). Currently four vaccines are recommended for all pregnant women (anti-flu vaccine, anti-whooping cough vaccine, anti-Sars-Cov-2 vaccine and anti-RSV vaccination). Only live vaccines are contraindicated.On a global and individual scale, vaccination is one of the most effective tools to defend against the infectious world, but the emergence of mistrust of vaccines and variable acceptability of vaccination during pregnancy could threaten its effectiveness.
