It is mandatory for pregnant women to get vaccinated against flu and whooping cough to ensure that the baby does not catch infection in the first crucial year of life, Dr Preeti Jindal, president, Mohali Obstetrics and Gynecology Society, said while addressing a Continuing Medical Education (CME) on vaccination during pregnancy here today.

The CME, which has been given two credit points by the Punjab Medical Council, aimed at updating the local doctors and gynaecologists on vaccination to be given during pregnancy.

More than 100 doctors from the region attended the CME.

Dr Jindal said several pregnant women and newborn babies died due to preventable diseases, many of which could be avoided if proper immunisation was done.

Dr Someya Agrawal said apart from tetanus injection and influenza, Tdap vaccinations should be conducted during pregnancy.
