Zikapregnancyinfographic（資料來源：CDC）
This document from the CDC provides information about the Zika virus and recommendations for pregnant women. It states that Zika can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus and has been linked to birth defects. It is mainly spread through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. While there is no vaccine or treatment, the CDC recommends that pregnant women do not travel to areas with Zika and strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites if travel is necessary. These steps include wearing protective clothing, using insect repellent, and sleeping under bed nets. The CDC also provides guidance for sexually active couples and those seeking pregnancy.
Targets and indicators of mdg4
The document discusses metrics for measuring progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Prevention of malaria will be measured by the percentage of children under 5 sleeping under insecticide-treated bednets. Treatment will be measured by the percentage of children under 5 who receive appropriate treatment. The United Nations, International Monetary Fund, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and World Bank were also mentioned.
Boostrix: An Update on Tdap Vaccine in Pregnancy
This document discusses maternal immunization against pertussis (whooping cough) using the Tdap vaccine. It provides information on:
1) The benefits of maternal immunization for both mother and infant by boosting maternal antibodies and protecting newborns who are most at risk of severe disease.
2) Pertussis epidemiology and increasing rates globally, especially in adolescents and adults. Infants under 6 months face the greatest risk of hospitalization and death from pertussis.
3) Clinical trial data demonstrating the safety of Tdap vaccination during pregnancy with no adverse effects on pregnancy or newborn outcomes. Maternal immunization provides the greatest protection for young infants.

Transmission of zika virus
Zika virus is transmitted primarily through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth, through sexual contact, and rarely through blood transfusions. While many infected people have no symptoms or only mild symptoms, Zika infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly and other severe brain defects in babies. Current outbreaks are occurring in many countries and territories in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the Americas.
Supporting Universal Antenatal Pertussis Vaccination
Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a serious illness especially in young infants that can be fatal. It is caused by bacteria transmitted through coughing or sneezing. While vaccines exist, they do not provide full protection to infants until 2-3 months of age, leaving them vulnerable. Cases of pertussis have been increasing in the US since the 1980s. To protect young infants, maternal immunization during pregnancy is recommended, as it provides antibodies that protect infants until they can receive their own vaccines. Despite recommendations, uptake of the pertussis vaccine during pregnancy remains low.
Vaccination in pregnancy by dr alka & dr apurva mukherjee nagpur m.s. india
Maternal immunization provides important health benefits to both pregnant women and to their fetus. Vaccine-preventable diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality among maternal, neonatal, and young infant. Some infections are so serious even they can waste pregnancy, harm her baby during pregnancy or after delivery. These complications can be protected with vaccination. This is why vaccinations are so important for pregnant mothers. Vaccines strengthen the immune systems of body that can fight off serious infectious diseases. A vaccine can help in protection of the mother's body from infections and this immunity passes to her baby during pregnancy. This immunity keeps the child safe during the first few months of life until baby gets his own vaccination. Vaccination also protects mothers from getting a serious disease that could affect future pregnancies. Fetus getting any risk after vaccination of the mother during pregnancy primarily is theoretical. Globally, no scientific study exist which shows the risk of fetus after vaccination of pregnant women with inactivated vaccines or bacterial vaccines or toxoids. Even live vaccines causing risk to fetus is theoretical. Benefits of vaccinating pregnant women usually outweigh potential risks when the likelihood of disease exposure is high, when infection would pose a risk to the mother or fetus, and when the vaccine is unlikely to cause harm. Not all vaccinations are safe during pregnancy but some of inactivated vaccines are considered safe which can be give to pregnant women who might be at risk of infection.
Transmission of zika virus
Zika virus is primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. These mosquitoes typically lay eggs in standing water and live both indoors and outdoors, biting aggressively during the day. A pregnant woman infected with Zika can pass the virus to her fetus, potentially causing microcephaly or other birth defects. Zika virus can also be sexually transmitted and spread through blood transfusions. To prevent transmission, individuals should take measures to protect against mosquito bites such as using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves/pants.

A Silver Lining to the Zika Virus? Implications for Reproductive Health Policy
A Silver Lining to the Zika Virus? Implications for Reproductive Health PolicyUCSFGlobalHealthSciences
The document discusses the implications of the Zika virus for reproductive health policy. It notes that several Latin American countries have urged women to delay or avoid pregnancy due to the virus. It also discusses statements from the Pope and WHO supporting access to contraception and counseling. The document outlines guidance that healthcare providers should discuss the risks of Zika with women of reproductive age and strategies to prevent mosquito bites. It argues that the Zika virus highlights existing inequalities and vulnerabilities that increase risks, and calls for more comprehensive reproductive healthcare and education as well as partnerships to address the crisis.Mmr
Fatema, a 30-year-old woman, came in for an MMR vaccine. She was given the vaccine during her fourth day of her period. However, she later discovered she was pregnant and was concerned about potential risks of the MMR vaccine during pregnancy causing congenital malformations. While rubella infection during early pregnancy poses high risks of congenital rubella syndrome, studies have found no evidence of congenital defects in infants when the rubella vaccine was inadvertently administered during pregnancy. Vertical transmission of the vaccine virus from mother to fetus has been demonstrated without resulting in congenital defects.
Clinical care for potentially Zika-exposed pregnant patients
This document discusses the clinical management of pregnant patients who may have been exposed to the Zika virus. It focuses on assessing risk, providing counseling on uncertain outcomes, determining infection status, assessing fetal infection risk and prognosis, and outlining options for continuing or terminating the pregnancy. Managing these patients is challenging due to difficulties in testing and the unpredictability of fetal and infant outcomes without signs of brain abnormalities. Preparation is needed to provide counseling, termination access, and support services for families raising children with special needs.

Breast Feeding and HIV Infection
This document discusses breastfeeding and HIV infection. It notes that approximately one-third of infants born to HIV-positive mothers contract HIV, often through breastfeeding. The risks of HIV transmission through breastfeeding can be decreased by shorter duration of breastfeeding (6 months has a lower risk than 2 years), exclusive breastfeeding for the first few months, and preventing and treating breast problems. However, for HIV-infected mothers in developing countries, not breastfeeding increases the risk of other infectious diseases in infants. The decision to breastfeed or use breastmilk substitutes presents difficulties for these mothers.
Vaccination required for HCWS
This study assessed the awareness of nurses in primary healthcare units in Port Said, Egypt about vaccinations required for healthcare workers. It found that nurses had satisfactory knowledge about required vaccines but the majority had not received all vaccines, with only 86% receiving the hepatitis B vaccine and 72% receiving the influenza vaccine. When asked their opinions, 99% said vaccines are useful but only 50% knew the doses required. The study recommends that the Ministry of Health provide more vaccines for nurses and launch awareness campaigns to improve vaccination rates among nurses in Port Said.
Vaccination in pregnancy-DR.DIVYA JAIN
Vaccinations during pregnancy can provide protection for both mother and baby. Common vaccines recommended include tetanus, influenza, hepatitis B, and meningococcal vaccines. Live attenuated vaccines like MMR and varicella are generally avoided due to theoretical risk of transmission to fetus. Inactivated and toxoid vaccines are considered safe. The benefits of vaccination usually outweigh potential risks. Immunoglobulins may also be recommended post exposure to certain pathogens. Timing and type of vaccine depends on the disease risk and trimester of pregnancy.
Zika Virus: Virology and Relationship to Other Flaviviruses
Zika virus is a member of the Flaviviridae family of RNA viruses, which includes other viruses like dengue, yellow fever, and West Nile virus. It is spherical and around 50nm in diameter. Like other flaviviruses, Zika virus has a single stranded RNA genome and encodes its proteins via a single polyprotein that is cleaved into structural and non-structural proteins. The structural proteins include the envelope, membrane, and capsid proteins. Zika virus is most closely related to Spondweni virus and has around 40-60% amino acid identity with other flaviviruses. While much is known about its relationship to other flaviviruses, important unknowns remain regarding how differences in Z
Flu vaccine in Pregnancy , Dr. sharda jain , Life Care Centre
This document discusses the importance of influenza vaccination during pregnancy. It notes that pregnant women are at higher risk of severe illness from the flu. The flu can harm both the mother and baby by increasing the risks of complications like premature labor. Vaccination is recommended for all pregnant women during flu season to protect both mother and baby. The flu shot is considered safe during pregnancy and can provide protection to infants for the first 6 months of life through antibodies passed during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Immunizations In Women 2014
This document provides information on immunizations for women in 2014. It discusses myths versus facts about vaccines, explains that vaccines do not cause autism or the diseases they protect against. It addresses safety and effectiveness of the influenza and Tdap vaccines during pregnancy. It recommends that all pregnant women receive the inactivated influenza vaccine each year from 27-36 weeks of pregnancy and the Tdap vaccine in each pregnancy. Minor and temporary side effects are common with vaccines while severe reactions are extremely rare.
Zika Virus and Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute paralyzing illness that is potentially associated with Zika virus infection. Several countries in Latin America have reported increases in GBS cases coinciding with Zika outbreaks. A study in French Polynesia during a 2013-2014 Zika outbreak found that nearly all GBS patients had evidence of recent Zika infection. While the link between Zika and GBS requires more research, the increased GBS incidence in areas with Zika suggests Zika may cause GBS in some cases.

Pregnant women do not appear more likely to contract COVID-19 than the general population, but their immune systems are changed and they should take precautions. COVID-19 pneumonia in pregnancy is usually mild with good recovery. Pregnant women with heart disease have greater risk. The pandemic has increased perinatal anxiety and depression. Vertical transmission is probable but risk to neonates is still unknown. There is no evidence COVID-19 causes miscarriage or birth defects. Care should be tailored to essential visits while not delaying obstetric management.
Rotavirus vaccine vikash keshri
Rotavirus is a leading cause of severe diarrhea in children under 5 globally. Two rotavirus vaccines, Rotarix and RotaTeq, have proven safe and effective in reducing severe rotavirus disease and deaths. Based on evidence from trials in developing countries showing significant public health impact, WHO now strongly recommends that rotavirus vaccines be included in all national immunization programs worldwide. The first dose should be given between 6-15 weeks of age.

What's Important -Pre- delivery?
The pandemic has resulted in increased anxiety in the universal populace more so for the pregnant women owing to the new period of uncertainty.
Though the effects of the coronavirus are more or less the same on each one of us; pregnant women have been considered as clinically exposed to the added risk of Covid-19 and hence been included in the moderate risk group as a precautionary measure. Expecting mothers in their third trimester or the 28th week, are required to be extra cautious and follow the social distancing norms strictly. Data from various sources revealed women were predominantly affected during their third trimester of pregnancy. Also, women with prevenient medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure ,or hypertension ,or prior major surgeries are at an increased risk of enduring the virus and recoup.
