Observational StudySeasonal influenza vaccination during pregnancy and the risks of preterm delivery and small for gestational age birth.
Influenza vaccination is routinely recommended for pregnant women, yet information on perinatal outcomes is sparse. ⋯ Though limited by study size, these findings add support to previous observations of little or no increased risk of PTD or SGA associated with seasonal influenza vaccination for three of the four influenza seasons in our study. The increased risk of PTD observed for the 2009-10 influenza season warrants further investigation.
