One of the first things an expecting mother can do to protect her baby is get vaccinated herself. Getting the recommended vaccines while a pregnant woman is pregnant is safe and will help keep moms healthy during their pregnancy. They will also help pass important infection-fighting antibodies to their babies to provide some protection against certain diseases during their first few months of life when they are still too young to get vaccinated.
