What is vaccination?
Vaccination is the most effective and safest way to prevent many life-threatening diseases in childhood. Vaccination strengthens the immune system of the child and gives them the power to fight against various bacteria and viruses.
Which vaccines are given to pregnant women and when are these vaccines should be given?
Pregnant women should be given two tetanus toxoid (TT) vaccines as early as possible during pregnancy. These vaccines are called TT-1 and TT-2. It is necessary to keep a gap of 4 weeks between these two vaccines. If a pregnant woman has received two TT vaccines in the last 3 years, then she should only be given a booster TT vaccine during this pregnancy.
Why do pregnant women need vaccinations?
Giving the TT vaccine to all pregnant women protects them and their babies from tetanus disease. Tetanus is a deadly disease for newborns due to which they get stiffness and severe muscle cramps. Sometimes babies are unable to breathe due to tightness in the ribs and this can be fatal.
Should a pregnant woman still be vaccinated with TT if she registers her name late during pregnancy (ANC Registration)?
A major cause of neonatal death is due to tetanus infection at birth. Therefore, even if a pregnant woman enrolls late for ANC, she should be vaccinated with TT. But TT-1+ TT-2 or TT booster vaccines should be given at least four weeks before the expected date of delivery so that she can get the full benefit.

The global economy will lose $2.3 trillion due to the delayed introduction and administration of the COVID-19 vaccination.According to a research published by The Economist, emerging and developing nations would face the brunt of the losses since their vaccine rollouts lag significantly behind those of wealthier ones.The research comes as developed countries begin to offer booster doses to their people, but international efforts to provide vaccinations to other countries remain insufficient.According to the research, nations who do not vaccinate 60% of their populations by mid-2022 will suffer costs of two trillion euros between 2022 and 2025.It cautioned that delaying vaccination distribution might feed anger, raising the risk of civil upheaval in poorer countries.In absolute terms, the Asia-Pacific region will be the most impacted, accounting for roughly three-quarters of the losses.However, Sub-Saharan Africa will suffer the greatest losses in terms of GDP.According to the report, over 60% of the population in higher-income countries had gotten at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccination as of late August, compared to only 1% in poorer countries.
