Do I need vaccinations before pregnancy?
Take hepatitis B and rubella vaccine after examination
Zhong Yanfang, chief physician of the eugenic genetic counseling department of the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that in all vaccine types Among them, only hepatitis B vaccine and rubella vaccine need to be injected before pregnancy, but not every pregnant woman needs it.
It is recommended that women planning pregnancy have liver function tests and rubella tests three months before pregnancy before deciding whether they need vaccination.
Take the liver function test as an example. If the test shows that multiple markers of hepatitis B virus are negative (no protective antibodies), hepatitis B vaccine can be injected (especially if the husband is a hepatitis B patient) ), so that the person has acquired immunity and protects the fetus from hepatitis B virus; if the person is positive for hepatitis B surface antibody (effective protective antibody has been obtained), there is no need to be vaccinated again.
Use the same method to determine whether to inject rubella vaccine. If the test is negative, the vaccine must be injected three months before pregnancy. If the test is positive, no further vaccination is required.
Influenza vaccine does not have a permanent preventive effect
Influenza is highly contagious. Do I need to get a flu vaccine in advance? Zhong Yanfang said that for people with normal physique, influenza vaccination is not recommended. Because the influenza virus mutates quickly, the influenza vaccine may not be 100% effective in preventing influenza. The unnecessary injection of influenza vaccine may cause fever and other symptoms due to individual differences and other reasons, which will only increase unnecessary worries. Therefore, during the 10-month pregnancy period, the prevention of influenza cannot rely on the vaccine, but on daily exercise, exercise and hygiene habits.
However, if your resistance is very weak and you are particularly susceptible to influenza infection, and if you are planning to become pregnant during an influenza pandemic, it is recommended that you get vaccinated under the guidance of a doctor.
Rabies and tetanus vaccine can also be given after pregnancy
For BCG vaccine, measles vaccine, diphtheria pertussis vaccine, Japanese encephalitis vaccine, these vaccines are generally Injections are required after you are born and no more injections are needed at this time.
There are also some preventive vaccines that do not need to be injected before pregnancy. But when there is an emergency during pregnancy, injections can also be given. For example, if a pregnant woman is bitten by a mad dog, she needs to be protected against rabies; if a pregnant woman cuts her finger on something rusty, she needs to be protected against tetanus. In these cases, the corresponding pathogen immunoglobulin must be injected. Immunoglobulin is a dead vaccine and cannot grow and reproduce in the body. Once injected, the body's immunity is short-lived and will not affect fetal development.
In short, whether before or after pregnancy, you should consult a professional doctor whether to inject vaccines, which vaccines to inject, and when to inject them, so that you can spend your pregnancy worry-free and safely.
