Talk to your Health Care Provider about vaccination during pregnancy, and make sure you track your child’s vaccinations and growth as well as their development milestones1-3.
In order to protect and keep our little ones healthy and safe, it is crucial that every pregnant mother and child receive the immunisations their bodies need to stay strong and resilient. Vaccinations during pregnancy and at different stages of your child’s development, are tailored to safeguard against several vaccine-preventable diseases1,2.
Empowered parents make informed choices that shape their children’s health journey – that is why it is important to stay informed through essential resources on childhood vaccinations and their importance.
Safeguarding our health and the well-being of our precious little ones is vital. Take the first step towards securing a healthier future, by scheduling a vaccination appointment today, for you or your child1,2.
Ask your Health Care Provider for guidance on selecting the most suitable vaccines for your pregnancy and every stage of your child's development, to prioritise protection and peace of mind.
