Pregnancy vaccination timing to discuss
Use your estimated due date or current week of pregnancy to see timing milestones for influenza, whooping cough and maternal RSV. These estimates help you prepare for a discussion with your maternity team.
Use the date agreed with your maternity team. This tool estimates completed weeks using a 40-week due date. It cannot confirm gestation, suitability or funding. Dates and selections are not sent to analytics.
Planning a pregnancy?
Ask your clinician to review your vaccination needs before pregnancy. MMR and chickenpox vaccines are not given during pregnancy. If either is needed beforehand, your clinician will explain the recommendation to avoid pregnancy for 28 days afterwards.
