Durante el embarazo, tu protección también puede proteger a tu bebé. 💛

Las vacunas recomendadas durante el embarazo, como las vacunas contra el RSV, Tdap, la gripe y el COVID-19, pueden ayudarte a protegerte y también pasar protección a tu bebé durante sus primeros meses de vida, cuando está más vulnerable.

Esa protección temprana puede hacer una gran diferencia antes de que tu bebé tenga la edad suficiente para recibir algunas vacunas. Ayuda a protegerlo contra enfermedades graves como RSV, tos ferina, gripe y COVID-19.

Porque el amor protege desde el principio. 💛

During pregnancy, your protection can become theirs. 💛

Vaccines recommended during pregnancy, including RSV, Tdap, flu, and COVID-19, can help protect you and pass protection to your baby during their earliest, most vulnerable months.

That early protection can make a meaningful difference before baby is old enough to receive some vaccines on their own, helping protect them from serious illness like RSV, whooping cough, flu, and COVID-19.

Because love protects from the very beginning. 💛

In the United States, vaccines have kept us safe from many dangerous diseases for decades.

Infections that were once common tragedies are now so rare, many people have never heard of them.

But keeping vaccine-preventable diseases in the history books depends on continued vaccination across the country.

American kids today don't have to worry about polio. Let's keep it that way. 🛡️💪

A “simple cold” can become serious quickly for a baby. As Dr. Anita K. Patel reminds us:

“As a pediatric ICU doctor, I’ve seen how quickly a ‘simple cold’ can become a month-long ICU stay, which is why I made sure my own children received their vaccines on time.”

Talk to your baby’s pediatrician about recommended vaccines and how to help protect them from the very beginning. 💛

Un “simple resfriado” puede volverse grave muy rápido para un bebé. Como nos recuerda la Dra. Anita K. Patel:

“Como doctora de cuidados intensivos pediátricos, he visto cómo un ‘simple resfriado’ puede convertirse rápidamente en un mes en el hospital, por eso me aseguré de que mis hijos recibieran sus vacunas a tiempo.”

Habla con el pediatra de tu bebé sobre las vacunas recomendadas y cómo ayudar a protegerlo desde el principio. 💛

Love looks like showing up. 💛

El amor se demuestra estando presente. 💛

Se ve en los chequeos, en los abrazos de la abuelita, en las visitas de las tías, y en la familia y amistades que rodean al bebé con cariño desde el principio.

Una manera sencilla de demostrar ese amor es asegurarse de que todos, incluyendo el bebé, estén al día con las vacunas recomendadas antes de visitarlo.

Porque ayudar a proteger al bebé es otra forma de demostrar que estamos ahí para él.
