We divided our review into three components: safety; immunogenicity (strength of immune response); and protective effects. /4

The second component was immunogenicity: how well the immune system of the pregnant women mounted a response to the vaccine. Pregnant women’s immune response to the vaccine was similar to the response of women who were not pregnant. /6
