Can MMR And Varicella Vaccine Taken During Pregnancy Cause Any Harm To The Fetus?
Welcome to Ask a Doctor . Please type your question here... I took both the MMR and the varicella vaccine 3 weeks ago and found out last week that I was pregnant is there any way the baby can still be born healthy without any defects from the vaccines I took
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Immunization with MMR and varicella vaccines whilst pregnant or shortly before becoming pregnant has no known risk. The vaccination in pregnancy is most recommended. You have no reason to terminate the pregnancy.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
