HPV (human papillomavirus) (inactivated viral vaccine) |
Not recommended |
Clinical trials and limited data from observational studies where HPV vaccine was inadvertently given during pregnancy indicate that there is no increased risk of adverse effects on the fetus.29-31 If a woman becomes pregnant during a course of HPV vaccination, stop the course and complete it after delivery. |

Yellow fever (live attenuated viral vaccine) |
Not recommended |
Advise pregnant women against going to rural areas where yellow fever is endemic. However, if travel to a country with a risk of yellow fever virus transmission is unavoidable, pregnant women should receive yellow fever vaccine.32,33 Many pregnant women have received yellow fever vaccine with no adverse outcomes.34 |
