Special populations
ACOG: Vaccine Safety During Pregnancy
Immunization information for pregnant people from the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG).
- COVID-19: Get an updated COVID-19 vaccine if you have not been vaccinated with the 2025-26 vaccine.
- Influenza: It can be given anytime during pregnancy. It will also protect your baby.
- RSV: There are two ways to protect your baby from getting very sick with RSV. You can either:
- Get RSV vaccine during weeks 32 through 36 of your pregnancy between September through January*.
OR - Have your baby 8 months of age or younger receive RSV immunization (nirsevimab) between October through March of their first RSV season.
- Get RSV vaccine during weeks 32 through 36 of your pregnancy between September through January*.
Talk to your health care provider about RSV protection early in your pregnancy to determine the best option for you and your baby. For more information visit ACOG: The RSV Vaccine and Pregnancy.
*Pregnant people who received RSV vaccine in a previous pregnancy should not get another dose. Instead, their baby should receive nirsevimab after delivery to protect them against RSV disease.
- Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap): Get a Tdap during every pregnancy. Tdap is typically given during the third trimester, so it benefits your baby.
Adults living with certain health conditions or other special situations are at increased risk for some vaccine preventable diseases and have special immunization recommendations, such as for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal, pneumococcal, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and/or shingles vaccines. Refer to Vaccinate Your Family: Adults for more information and talk to your health care provider about what vaccines you need.
