Pregnant women must not have live vaccines, i.e. against yellow fever, BCG, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), chicken pox vaccine, live polio vaccine (not used in Norway) and live typhoid vaccine. Of these, only yellow fever is a problem in the context of travel, and pregnant women who absolutely must travel to a yellow fever area can take an exemption certificate with them. The other travel vaccines: Hepatitis A and B, typhoid (Typhim Vi or Typherix, which have been killed), rabies, meningococcal and tick-borne encephalitis can be given to pregnant women without hesitation. The manufacturers state that they cannot do that, but it is something they have included in the preparation description in order not to risk being sued in the event of birth defects. It does occur from time to time, without there being any reason to assume that it has anything to do with the vaccines. But the big question when it comes to pregnant women and travelling, is whether they should travel at all, see pregnant women travelling. Where these vaccines are indicated, they are also indicated for pregnant women.
Regarding the update of the usual childhood vaccines, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio, this is a vaccine that all pregnant women should take, at least one month before the birth, to prevent whooping cough in the child. Immunity against whooping cough wears off quickly, and lasts a maximum of five years after the last dose.
