Unified Women’s Healthcare
Vaccination is an important part of preventive healthcare at every stage of life. At CCOBGYN, we support evidence-based immunizations that help protect your health before, during, and after pregnancy, as well as throughout your reproductive and menopausal years.
Vaccines can reduce the risk of serious infections, protect future pregnancies, and support long-term wellness.
Women’s health includes more than annual exams and reproductive care. Vaccines play a key role in preventing infections that can impact fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and overall health.
Your provider can review your immunization history and help determine which vaccines are recommended based on your age, health status, pregnancy plans, and risk factors.
The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine helps protect against the types of HPV that can lead to cervical cancer, other gynecologic cancers, and genital warts.
The HPV vaccine is most effective when given before exposure to the virus, but it may still be recommended for certain patients up to age 45 based on individual risk and provider guidance.
The influenza vaccine is recommended annually for most patients. Flu infection during pregnancy can be more severe and may increase the risk of complications for both mother and baby, making vaccination especially important during pregnancy seasonally.
The Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). It is routinely recommended during each pregnancy, typically between 27 and 36 weeks, to help provide early protection to newborns.
COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for many patients, including those who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Vaccination can help reduce the risk of severe illness and pregnancy-related complications associated with COVID-19 infection.
If you are planning a pregnancy or are currently pregnant, your provider may review your vaccine history to ensure you are up to date before conception or during prenatal care. Some vaccines may be recommended before pregnancy, while others are safely administered during pregnancy.
Every patient’s vaccine needs are different. Your CCOBGYN provider will take into account your age, medical history, pregnancy status, and lifestyle factors when making recommendations.
If you have questions about vaccines or are unsure which immunizations you need, we encourage you to discuss this during your visit. Our team is here to help you make informed decisions that support your long-term health and the health of your family.
