[h=3]Abstract[/h] Safety and efficacy of vaccinations during pregnancy have been a matter of debate. In the aftermath of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, a growing body of research has emerged, which points toward the importance of adhering to influenza vaccination recommendations for pregnant women. The same applies for vaccination against pertussis. Some vaccines (e.g., live attenuated) are still contraindicated during pregnancy. However, data indicate that these vaccines do not result in fetal impairment when administered accidentally during pregnancy. In the following, we provide a review on vaccination-related safety and efficacy aspects in pregnant women, shedding some light on potential barriers that stymie vaccination uptake among pregnant women and introducing strategies to overcome these barriers.
