Drugs to avoid during pregnancy - Pregnancy - Doctissimo
When you're pregnant, your entire immune system is changing and may be weakened, so you may have unpredictable reactions to immunizations. If you've been in contact with infectious diseases, or you have to travel somewhere that requires immunizations, talk to your doctor and find out what is best to do. Generally, doctors advise against giving vaccinations prepared with live viruses - rubella, measles, mumps, and yellow fever. And it's best not to have the flu vaccine when you're pregnant, unless you have a high risk of heart or lung disease. Dr Miriam Stoppard
