Maternal and Neonatal Vaccination

Vaccination plays an important role for both maternal and neonatal health conditions. It is so beneficial for women to be immunized to reduce chances of morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases. Some vaccines should be given to mother before pregnancy, some during pregnancy and some post pregnancy. Neonatal vaccination is the lifetime opportunity to initiate the early protective response against infectious diseases like polio, smallpox etc.
