Vaccination and pregnancy: Before pregnancy

Before becoming pregnant, talk to your health care provider or local public health authority to make sure your vaccines are up to date. Some vaccines are generally not recommended during pregnancy. Live vaccines such as MMR (mumps, measles and rubella) and chicken pox (varicella) should be given at least 4 weeks before becoming pregnant.
