Every year, when the season changes, it is the time when influenza is high in our country.
Fortunately, in the face of influenza, there is a very effective prevention method, that is to inject influenza vaccine!
Vaccines have effectively protected the elderly, children and people with basic diseases who are vulnerable to the virus. However, the situation of pregnant mothers who belong to the same [influenza high-risk group] as these people is not so optimistic… … …
You are a pregnant woman, getting what vaccine?
Last week, Dr. Clove published an article on “Protect Children during Influenza Season”. In the comment area, we found many such comments:
More and more pregnant mothers know to use vaccines to protect themselves and their babies.
However, the awareness was in place, but the relevant guarantees did not keep up.
There are even such experiences:
What called [Why do you want to fight when you are pregnant if you don’t fight early and late]? It is because I am pregnant that I have to get flu vaccine.
Guidelines at home and abroad clearly point out that pregnant women should be vaccinated.
The domestic < < Influenza Diagnosis and Treatment Plan 2018 Edition > > said:
Pregnant women belong to the high-risk group of influenza and should be given priority to influenza vaccination.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also mentioned:
During the season of high incidence of influenza, the risk of influenza infection among pregnant women is high, and the risk of influenza to pregnant women and babies is high. The approved inactivated influenza vaccine can effectively play a protective role.
But in reality, pregnant mothers, their families and medical staff are worried about influenza vaccines.
Is the vaccine safe? Will it cause harm to the mother and will it have what influence on the baby in the belly?
Vaccines are safe
UpToDate, the most authoritative secondary medical database in the world, clearly points out:
After injection of inactivated influenza vaccine, no increased risk of maternal complications or adverse fetal outcomes was found.
The “Technical Guidelines for the Application of Seasonal Influenza Vaccines in China” also stated:
Pregnant women should be vaccinated against influenza at any stage of pregnancy. Moreover, infants under 6 months old cannot be vaccinated against influenza, but the mother can be vaccinated during pregnancy to prevent influenza.
It means that vaccines are not only good for mothers, but also good for babies with stomachs.
Therefore, expectant mothers can not only be vaccinated with the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine already on the market in China, but also recommend priority injection.
Effective protection, based on correct cognition
However, many people, even medical staff, do not realize the significance of vaccines to mothers and infants during the flu season. They think that vaccines are useless and give pregnant mothers a beating. In case something happens, doctors will have to bear the responsibility.
Even more ironically, the reason why many doctors do this is [to protect pregnant mothers, it is for hello].
But in fact, pregnant women are more likely to be infected with miscarriage than ordinary people. Compared with the common cold, influenza is also more likely to cause complications, which greatly increases the risk of serious internal medicine and pregnancy complications. High fever, acidosis, pneumonia, myocarditis, meningitis… which can be better complicated? The worst is even more deadly!
However, miscarriage, premature delivery and abnormal fetal development may be more disturbing than the symptoms of influenza itself for families and mothers who expect the baby to come.

Because of the imaginary vaccine [adverse effects], but ignore the harm of the virus itself.
If something happens because of refusing to vaccinate pregnant women, shouldn’t doctors be responsible? To put it bluntly, [for hello] is only an excuse for his backward ideas. He has never seen any vaccination accidents before. Many people have been hit by flu. Of course, doctors should also be responsible for this!
Faced with this reality, pregnant mothers have to help each other:
Vaccination was originally a legitimate and necessary thing, and it still needed to make every effort to [perform].
This is really helpless.
Protecting pregnant women’s right to health is the most basic [preferential treatment]
Once a woman is pregnant, she is equivalent to being deprived of many rights at once:
Pregnancy is restricted by various taboos, which makes them lose the right to enjoy life.
During childbirth, analgesic methods are not in place and they have to endure severe pain, which makes them lose the right to be free from pain.
Now, even if you want to get a flu vaccine, a basic right to health protection, it is so difficult to realize.
In China, it is really difficult to be a pregnant woman!
Dr. Clove hereby calls on all doctors to update their knowledge.
Since the conclusions of the guidelines and specifications are so clear, [whether vaccination should be given] should not have been a problem!
Some medical staff can think about it, if you are pregnant and your closest relatives are pregnant and face the threat of influenza, will you still say an unreasonable [pregnant women cannot be vaccinated] as if nothing had happened?
If, as a person who stands in the front line of defending health, he cannot provide the most accurate guidance to his closest relatives, and how faces the public’s [health is tied to, life is tied to]?
Pregnant women can be cared for by how, which reflects the civilization level of a society.
The care for pregnant women should not only stop at giving up their seats on buses and enjoying paid holidays. During pregnancy, it is even more critical to enjoy the health protection brought about by medical progress.
At the beginning, the pregnant woman in Yulin jumped off a building in pain and used the two vivid lives of adults and children to arouse the public’s attention to the technology of painless childbirth.
We cannot wait until several pregnant women have been hit hard by influenza before we realize the significance of influenza vaccination.
