Immunization in Pregnancy
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
Immunization for Women was established by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to provide ob-gyns and their patients with a central, trusted source of up-to-date information on seasonal flu and other vaccine-preventable diseases, including immunization facts and safety, immunization schedules, clinical and practice management guidelines, and links to other reliable immunization resources. It is our goal to empower women with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about immunization and their health and to provide ob-gyns with a valuable resource for immunization best practices and patient education.
