ABSTRACT
Both pregnant women and their newborns have a higher risk to be admitted to hospital because of complications of an influenza infection. Especially newborns under six months of age are at an increased risk to be admitted with complications of an influenza infection. In pregnant women, hospital admittance in case of influenza infection is two to threefold increased as compared to non-pregnant women. Vaccination against influenza infection is a safe and effective method to decrease the morbidity of influenza infections in pregnant women and their newborns. Starting in 2023, all pregnant women in the Netherlands will be offered influenza vaccination. It is important to take care of good acceptation of influenza vaccination amongst pregnant women. Good education of healthcare providers and good counseling of pregnant women is necessary to optimize the uptake of influenza vaccination.
