Immunizations help to protect people against serious illness during pregnancy and also protect their baby's health during the first few months following birth.
Routine immunizations while pregnant are:
-
Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Tdap) - between 27 and 32 weeks of gestational age
Most vaccines are available through your health care provider who are familiar with your medical history and risks. Some vaccinations can also be available at your local pharmacy. If you do not have a health care provider or your health care provider does not provide certain vaccinations, you can book an appointment online at one of our health unit offices, or by calling Health Connection at 1-877-721-7520 (toll free) or 1-705-721-7520, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
