[Change of strategies for novel and seasonal flu during pregnancy].
In 2009/10 season pandemic (H1N1) 2009 epidemic, pregnant women were recognized as high risk group, and taken different measures from non-pregnant adults. This new recommendations for pregnant women was also different from Japanese conventional management for pregnant women suffering from seasonal flu. The policy of these recommendations of novel flu for pregnant women was highlighted to aggressive preventions and treatments. To put it concretely, 1) pregnant women will be preferably accepted influenza virus vaccines during all the period of pregnancy, 2) early administration of oseltamivir/zanamivir to pregnant women will not be hesitated. This new recommendation for pregnancy will be probably applied in this 2010/11 season too.
