title: [Influenza vaccination during pregnancy].
abstract: Review covers the problem of influenza vaccination during pregnancy, which according to WHO's experts conclusion represents a risk group. It is known that complications due to influenza develop significantly more frequently especially in case of presence of chronic diseases. It has been scientifically proven that vaccination against influenza is safe and effective for prevention of complications due to infection for both mother and fetus. Children born to mothers vaccinated during pregnancy are passively protected during first 6 months of life. It was shown that despite the potential value of influenza vaccines as a measure for reducing morbidity in mother and fetus, coverage of influenza immunization in pregnant women continues to be lower than 10%.
