Maternal vaccination: a review of current evidence and recommendations

Melanie Etti et al.

Summary: Maternal vaccination is an effective measure to protect pregnant women, fetuses, and infants from infections. However, concerns about vaccine safety from healthcare providers and pregnant women have led to low utilization of this disease prevention method, as seen in the low uptake of COVID-19 vaccine among pregnant women globally. This article provides an update on the current recommendations for vaccines during pregnancy, including evidence on novel vaccine platforms. It also presents an overview of the data supporting the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy and the development of vaccines for use in pregnant women.

Maternal vaccination as an additional approach to improve the protection of the nursling: Anti-infective properties of breast milk

Yingying Zheng et al.

Summary: Human milk plays a unique role in nourishing and protecting infants from enteric and respiratory infections. It contains secretory IgA antibodies and various bioactive factors. Maternal vaccination can induce specific antibodies in breast milk, offering passive immunity to the neonate during breastfeeding. Studies have shown elevated levels of IgA and IgG antibodies with virus-neutralizing abilities in breast milk after maternal vaccination, including anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
