SECTION I: OBSTETRICS & REPRODUCTIVE CLINICAL PRACTICE
Question 1 of 35
Learning Objective: Identify safe and recommended vaccines for administration during pregnancy to promote maternal-fetal immunization.
Question: A pregnant patient at her 28-week prenatal visit asks which vaccines she is safe to receive during pregnancy. Which of the following represents the
correct immunization clinical recommendation?
A. MMR and varicella vaccines. B. Tdap and inactivated influenza vaccine.
C. HPV and live-attenuated influenza vaccine. D. Shingles and yellow fever vaccines.
ANSWER : B — Tdap and inactivated influenza vaccine.
Explanation: Inactivated vaccines, such as Tdap (optimally administered between 27 and 36 weeks gestation) and the inactivated influenza vaccine (safe at
any trimester), are the only vaccines routinely recommended during pregnancy. These vaccines provide passive immunity to the developing fetus, protecting
the newborn in early life. Live vaccines, such as MMR and varicella, are strictly contraindicated during pregnancy due to the theoretical risk of transmission
of the vaccine virus to the fetus.
