Clinical trial: One dose of H1N1 vaccine will protect pregnant women - CNN.com:
"Washington (CNN) -- Nearly all healthy pregnant women who receive a single dose of the H1N1 flu vaccine will be protected from that flu, according to just-released clinical trial data.
In a news conference Monday at the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said out of about 100 pregnant women who participated in trial studies, over 90 percent showed a robust immune response to a single 15-microgram dose of the H1N1 vaccine. And at this point, there have been no reported side effects, Fauci said.
Fauci stressed that these results should be reassuring for already-vaccinated pregnant women and this is 'vital information for those who have not yet been vaccinated.' He added that 'pregnant women have tolerated the vaccine well, and no safety concerns have arisen.'"
