Debunking Pregnancy and Vaccine Myths: Understanding the Risks of Live Vaccines for Expecting Mothers

Which of these regarding pregnancy and vaccines is FALSEA) live vaccines are safe to administer to pregnant womenB) in general, inactivated vaccines can be given, if indicatedC) HPV should be deferred during pregnancy

A) live vaccines should NOT be administered to pregnant women

The FALSE statement regarding pregnancy and vaccines is A) live vaccines are safe to administer to pregnant women. Live vaccines (such as MMR, varicella, yellow fever) are usually not recommended to be administered during pregnancy as they carry the risk of causing infection in the developing fetus. However, there are circumstances where the benefits of vaccinating a pregnant woman with a live vaccine may outweigh the potential risks, such as during an outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease or travel to an area where the disease is endemic. Inactivated vaccines (such as Tdap, flu shot) are generally considered safe and recommended for pregnant women. While HPV vaccine is recommended for non-pregnant women and girls, it should be deferred until after pregnancy.
