คุณแม่ตั้งครรภ์...ควรเข้ารับการฉีดวัคซีนที่สำคัญๆ อะไรบ้าง?

During pregnancy, it is important not only to take care of the mother but also to be cautious about the safety of the fetus. “Vaccines” act as helpers that build immunity to protect both the mother and the baby in the womb from infections, ensuring safety until delivery.
&nbsp;
<h2 style="color: #008080;">Important vaccines… that pregnant mothers should get?</h2>
<ul>
<li>Tetanus vaccine to provide immunity to the baby and benefit the pregnant mother. Adults are recommended to get a booster every 10 years, but for some pregnant mothers who have not received the vaccine for a long time, it is recommended to get vaccinated to help with wound protection. Childbirth causes wounds whether it is natural delivery or cesarean section. Doctors will give pregnant mothers 2 doses of the tetanus vaccine, which will transfer immunity to the baby in the womb. The first dose is given in the 1st month and the second dose in the 6th month. If the mother has already received 3 doses, the immunity will protect the mother as well. The 3rd dose is given after delivery.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus vaccine can be given between 27-36 weeks of pregnancy. It helps protect the mother’s immunity because in the 3rd trimester, resistance to infections decreases, making the mother more susceptible to illness and infection. If the mother gets sick or infected, there is a higher chance of premature birth. This vaccine combines 3 vaccines in one dose and also helps prevent tetanus and infections during pregnancy and childbirth.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Influenza vaccine Influenza is more dangerous for pregnant women than for others. If infected, it can cause severe complications. Generally, the vaccine should be given annually. Pregnant women should receive the vaccine in the 3rd trimester after 28 weeks.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2 style="color: #008080;">Additionally… there are “vaccines that are prohibited during pregnancy”</h2>
Vaccines that should not be given during pregnancy include the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, zoster (shingles) vaccine, and the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine. These are live vaccines that may infect the fetus and cause congenital disabilities in organs such as the ears, eyes, heart, arms, legs, and brain. Therefore, if planning to conceive, these vaccines should be administered before pregnancy. For the rubella vaccine, it is recommended to get vaccinated more than 1 month before pregnancy or immediately after delivery with one dose, followed by a second dose one month after the first.

Pregnant women should receive appropriate vaccines such as influenza, diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus vaccines to build immunity to protect both the pregnant mother and the fetus from various infectious diseases.
