Immunizations are important at every life stage, including infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Protection from some childhood vaccines can wear off over time; therefore, adults, including pregnant women, may be at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases due to age, job, lifestyle, travel, or health conditions. Vaccines can help protect pregnant women and their developing baby against serious diseases.
Below are several immunization-related resources.
Recommended Vaccines by Age Provides an immunization schedule for recommended vaccines for all ages, from birth to 60 years or older.
Recommended Childhood and Adolescent Immunizations Schedules provides printable schedules by age group or medical indications, vaccine catch-up guidance with an accompanying schedule, and reasons to follow CDC’s recommended immunization schedule.
Pregnancy and Vaccination Covers vaccine safety information for before, during, and after pregnancy, and vaccines to get during pregnancy.
A Pregnancy and Vaccine factsheet that reviews the need for whooping cough and flu vaccines during pregnancy, and the importance of vaccines after giving birth.
Vaccine Safety provides information about the safety of each FDA-approved vaccine, vaccine safety research, common concerns, and links to additional information. Resources available for clinicians and the general public.
