Pregnant patients may receive any licensed, recommended, age-appropriate influenza vaccine. (medscape.com)
In addition to targeting vaccination in Tier 1 to groups that provide critical societal goods and services, public and stakeholder groups also reinforced the value of including pregnant women and young children in this tier when they are likely to be at high risk of pandemic influenza-related hospitalizations or death. (cdc.gov)
Pregnant women are vulnerable to the risks from seasonal influenza and also had excess mortality during the influenza pandemics of 1918 to 1919, 1957 to 1958, and the 2009 pandemic - supporting the need for vaccination in this group. (womenfitness.net)
As long as there is a sufficient supply of vaccination, unvaccinated pregnant women should be immunized at any time during influenza season, using inactivated influenza vaccine. (womenfitness.net)
It is preferable, though, to vaccinate pregnant women early in the influenza season, regardless of gestational age. (womenfitness.net)
This year, recommendations for routine influenza vaccine receipt have been expanded to include all pregnant women. (canada.ca)

In addition, maternal immunity achieved through vaccination is the only effective strategy for newborns , because the influenza vaccine is not approved for use in infants younger than 6 months. (womenfitness.net)
Earlier studies have suggested that having repeated annual influenza vaccine can prevent natural immunity to the virus, and potentially increase the susceptibility to influenza illness in the event of a pandemic, or when the vaccine does not "match" the virus circulating in the community. (rtmagazine.com)
This led to confusion about targeting and coverage, with many policymakers justifying that the vaccination of 10% of the population would establish herd immunity and so reduce future risk. (biomedcentral.com)
The influenza virus constantly mutates, limiting the impact of protection by vaccination, and immunity conferred in one pandemic influenza period will not reliably prevent new infections by an antigenically drifted strain [ 9 ]. (biomedcentral.com)

Only a few of the EU Member States that participated in the survey come close to achieving the 75% vaccination coverage target, which has been set by the EU to protect tens of thousands of persons at risk of death and serious illness. (europa.eu)
Sufficient vaccination coverage also saves healthcare systems money in decreased consultation rates and hospitalisations. (europa.eu)
Countries that do not yet have a seasonal influenza vaccination action plan to achieve higher seasonal influenza vaccination coverage rates are encouraged to develop and adopt such a plan, document or policy. (europa.eu)
Additionally, racial and ethnic disparities in flu vaccination coverage continue to exist. (naccho.org)
