Some vaccines, such as the inactivated seasonal flu vaccine, the whooping cough vaccine, and the COVID-19 seasonal booster, are recommended during pregnancy to protect the health of both you and your baby.
During the flu season, it is safe to get your flu vaccine at the same time as your whooping cough vaccine.
Our immunisation teams offer vaccines to women who are over 16 weeks pregnant at Broomfield Hospital. You can receive your vaccine every Tuesday and Wednesday between 9am and 5pm at our drop-in clinic. The clinic is held in A block, 4th Floor (adjacent to Antenatal Clinic).
RSV vaccination
The RSV vaccination is recommended if you’re 28 weeks pregnant or more – this will help protect your baby for the first few months after they’re born. You can have your vaccination at one of the drop in-sessions or via your GP. Alternatively our immunisation team will be contacting pregnant people from 24 weeks to offer them the RSV vaccine and book appointments (from 28 weeks).
We understand that for some people, having a vaccination while pregnant can be worrying. If you have concerns or questions, please visit our drop-in clinics, where our healthcare teams can answer your questions and explain why we recommend these vaccinations.
