Vaccination during pregnancy
Exposure to either live or inactive vaccines during pregnancy has not been associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and no child to date has been born with CRS or varicella syndrome following rubella or varicella vaccination of the mother anytime during pregnancy. However, despite this evidence-based information, these vaccines remain contraindicated during pregnancy, and the Public Health Agency of Canada and the ACIP continue to recommend that women avoid becoming pregnant for approximately 1 month following vaccination. They do state that if pregnant women are exposed to these vaccines or if pregnancy occurs soon after vaccination, the women should be counseled regarding the theoretical risks to the fetus and vaccination should not be a reason to consider termination of pregnancy.
