Beschreibungen/Notizen
Highlights • Pregnant women are at higher risk of serious influenza infection than non-pregnant women. • Few population-based studies have evaluated the effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccine in pregnant women. • This cohort study compared the health of 3,007 vaccinated and 31,694 unvaccinated pregnant women. • Antenatal vaccination was associated with significantly fewer hospitalisations for respiratory disease. • These results support the value of implementing antenatal influenza vaccination programs.
