What is vaccination? Vaccination is the most
effective and safest way to prevent many
life-threatening diseases in childhood.
Vaccination strengthens the immune system of the
child and gives them the power to fight against
various bacteria and viruses. Which vaccines are
given to pregnant women and when are these
vaccines should be given? Pregnant women should
be given two tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccines as
early as possible during pregnancy. These
vaccines are called TT-1 and TT-2. It is
necessary to keep a gap of 4 weeks between these
two vaccines. If a pregnant woman has received
two TT vaccines in the last 3 years, then she
should only be given a booster TT vaccine during
this pregnancy.

Why do pregnant women need vaccinations? Giving
the TT vaccine to all pregnant women protects
them and their babies from tetanus disease.
Tetanus is a deadly disease for newborns due to
which they get stiffness and severe muscle
cramps. Sometimes babies are unable to breathe
due to tightness in the ribs and this can be
fatal. Should a pregnant woman still be
vaccinated with TT if she registers her name late
during pregnancy (ANC Registration)? A major
cause of neonatal death is due to tetanus
infection at birth. Therefore, even if a pregnant
woman enrolls late for ANC, she should be
vaccinated with TT. But TT-1 TT-2 or TT booster
vaccines should be given at least four weeks
before the expected date of delivery so that she
can get the full benefit.

no need to re-vaccinate the child if there is no
scar on the arm of the child after the BCG
vaccine. Why are children being given polio
doses in pulse polio campaigns along with routine
vaccinations? Polio infection still exists
worldwide. There is a constant risk of spreading
the infection from a person infected with polio
disease. Therefore, until the infection of polio
is eradicated from the whole world, it is
necessary to give polio doses to the children to
maintain their level of protection. Continue to
