Immunization

Giving your baby the protection they need

Pertussis (whooping cough) and Influenza (the "flu") are two infections that can be deadly for newborns. The flu virus can also cause fetal death. 

Newborn babies are too young to be immunized against these diseases.

 

By getting the TDAP and Flu shots during your pregnancy, you can pass this protection to your baby until they are old enough to be immunized after birth.  

5 Quick Facts about Immunizations
