Given that currently licensed vaccines are not specifically indicated for pregnant women, there might be reluctance by some providers and government agencies worldwide to recommend routine vaccination in this population. However, the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) addresses this concern by approving labeling clearly stating in that licensed vaccines that are recommended for pregnant women (such as influenza and Tdap) are NOT contraindicated for use in pregnant women, and specific considerations regarding safety of use during pregnancy are addressed in the pregnancy subsection of the FDA approved labeling (3). Furthermore, the safety of these vaccines continues to be monitored through post-licensure surveillance mechanisms, such as pregnancy registries and large passive and active adverse event reporting and surveillance systems (4).
