Vaccination in pregnancy (Tdap, flu, etc.)
Vaccination in Pregnancy (Tdap, Flu & More) by Dr. Shifa Anwar Panwala
Vaccination during pregnancy is an important step in protecting both the mother and the baby from serious infections. Dr. Shifa Anwar Panwala provides evidence-based guidance and safe vaccination services to ensure optimal care throughout your pregnancy.
Certain vaccines are specifically recommended during pregnancy:
Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis) – helps protect your newborn from whooping cough in the first few months of life.
Influenza (Flu vaccine) – protects against seasonal flu, which can be more severe during pregnancy.
These vaccines are safe when given at the appropriate stage of pregnancy and also help pass protective antibodies to the baby before birth.
Dr. Shifa conducts a detailed review of your vaccination history and current pregnancy stage to recommend the right schedule. You’ll receive clear guidance on benefits, timing, safety, and any mild side effects to expect.
At Her Space, your safety, comfort, and confidence are always the priority. Dr. Shifa ensures a supportive and informed approach—helping you take proactive steps for a healthy pregnancy and a well-protected baby.
