The importance of the pertussis vaccine during pregnancy

Whooping cough is a respiratory illness that can be very dangerous for infants, especially in the first few months, when their immune system is not yet mature. It can be done together with the flu vaccine if the pregnancy falls during the flu season. The vaccine administered to the pregnant mother, between the 27th and the 36th week, allows the antibodies to be transferred to the child, offering protection until he can receive the first doses of his vaccination cycle. You can get the vaccine free of charge at: - the reference family office, - the ASST or ATS in your area, - the hospital vaccination offices, often connected to the point of birth.
