Explanation
Inactivated influenza vaccine is recommended during any trimester of pregnancy to protect the mother and newborn. Tdap is recommended between 27 and 36 weeks' gestation in each pregnancy to prevent pertussis in the infant. Live attenuated influenza vaccine, MMR, and varicella are live vaccines and are generally contraindicated during pregnancy. Hepatitis B vaccine is not contraindicated and may be given if indicated, so stating it is contraindicated is incorrect.
