Tetanus, pertussis vaccinations for pregnant women

None

The Ministry of Health has ordered immunization against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis for all pregnant women, beginning at the 27th week of pregnancy. Women who did not receive these vaccinations in previous pregnancies should contact their HMO. Prior to this, the vaccinations were only a recommendation. (Dr. Itay Gal)
