Résumé

A newborn, only hours old, may already be at risk of fatal diseases such as pertussis or influenza because the mother was not vaccinated during pregnancy. This is a harsh reality for families worldwide, and Canada is no exception. Despite scientific evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of maternal vaccination, many expectant mothers remain hesitant.
