Dr. Stephen Malthouse and VCC president Ted Kuntz will discuss the six vaccines recommended for pregnant women (and their unborn babies) in Canada. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists now promotes vaccination against influenza, COVID-19, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus – a common cold virus). What is the evidence that these vaccines are “safe and effective” and what happened to the precautionary principle in medicine? Dr Malthouse will provide an in-depth review of the six vaccines currently recommended in pregnancy, empowering parents with the information they need to make an informed choice.
