Prenatal infections include #bacterial or #viral illnesses that can be passed from a mother to her baby during #pregnancy or during the delivery process.

The incidence of prenatal infection depends on the causative agent; however, globally, in 2016, it was estimated that approximately 2.6 million #infants died within the first month of life, and approximately 700,000 infants die each year due to infectious diseases.

Due to the serious consequences for mother and baby, prenatal infection prevention is a critical component of the broader #maternal and #child health strategy to ensure that mothers and babies “survive and thrive.

”Maternal #Immunization is an #Effective Approach to Preventing #Prenatal #Infections.
