US health agency recommends vaccination for pregnant women

Should pregnant women get vaccinated? Although they are considered a risk group, vaccination has been advised against them so far. Because there is too little data on the safety of the unborn.

Now that should change. The US American health authority CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has issued a clear vaccination recommendation for pregnant women. The agency is referring to a study that found that women who are vaccinated in the third trimester are not at risk to their babies.
