Vaccination against Rertussis, Influenza and Sars CoV 2 during pregnancy
Summary:
Introduction: Pregnant women have a complex modification of the immune system and tend to have more severe viral diseases compared to the general population. Because of the immunological and physiological changes in pregnancy, pregnant women are considered a population at risk. Vaccines available for administration to pregnant women fall into two broad categories.First, the vaccines that are routinely recommended (influenza, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (Tdap)) and second, the vaccines that are given only in the presence of risk factors (Hepatitis A and B, Yellow Fever, Pneumococcus, Haemophilus Influenza, Polio, Meningococcus, Typhoid, Smallpox, rabies, Japanese encephalitis and Anthrax)At this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is additionally recommended.
Purpose: The purpose of this dissertasion is to investigate through a literature review the vaccination of three different diseases during pregnancy. In particular, the vaccination against whooping cough, influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 virus will be studied and data on their effectiveness and safety will be gathered through a literature review.
Method: A literature review was performed through the Google Scholar database. Of the studies resulting from this search, preference was mainly given to those of the last five years, but older ones were not excluded when they contained important data. No distinction was made between review and research studies.
Conclusions: Maternal pertussis vaccination, like vaccination against seasonal influenza and COVID-19, represents a preventive intervention with an impact on the health of pregnant women and the newborn with positive indicators of efficacy and safety. Nevertheless, it is concluded that in all three of these categories, further research is needed in terms of knowledge gaps and more studies on the effectiveness and safety of vaccination.
