Influenza A and pregnancy

Questions and answers for pregnant women.

Why get vaccinated?

You have a higher risk of developing a severe form of influenza A (H1N1). Since you belong to a category "at risk", you are the one of those to whom the vaccine is given by priority. Having been vaccinated you will not only protect yourself but also you'll protect your child.

What type of vaccine should be used?

There are two main families of vaccines against influenza A (H1N1) vaccine with adjuvant and the vaccine without adjuvant. The adjuvanted vaccines have been used since the launch of the vaccination campaign. Those without adjuvant are reserved primarily for pregnant women in particular from the second quarter and for infants aged 6 to 23 months.

Why focus on a non-adjuvant vaccine for pregnant women?

The adjuvanted vaccines state that they can be used for pregnant women. The preference given by experts in vaccines without adjuvant is a precautionary measure. The choice made for pregnant women is very specific and does not call into question the legitimacy of vaccines with adjuvants that have been tested during many clinical trials.
