Dear doctor, please recommend what are the vaccine i must get before getting pregnant. i will start trying to conceive in about 3 months, starting from september. ?

Vaccine: You should have vaccination at least once every one or two years. Till then let your obstetrician know what is going on and you and baby will do just fine and husband will be very happy as will the rest of the family.

Vaccines: You should be vaccinated against pertussis. You should also receive a flu vaccine if it is the correct season. Also, if you have never had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine, it is recommended to get this as well before becoming pregnant.

Shots for pregnancy: during pregnancy, flu vaccine & dtap are given, your obstetrician run blood works including Tigers for MMR & Hepatitis B to make sure you are immune to them. Good luck.

Please read on..: A DTaP booster is needed MMR vaccine should be upto date I recommend the meningococcal vaccine not just before pregnancy but to all ages between 11 and 18 years of age and beyond. You might be upto date on it I assume. All other routine vaccines should have been done in your case as a young adult.

Pregnancy vaccines: It would be wise to review your immunization record with your primary care physician to avoid duplication of vaccines. In general, it would be best to have the Hepatitis series, MMR, TdaP, Varicella and Influenza vaccines.
