Infant outcomes in the first year of life associated with maternal H1N1 vaccination
FY 2011-12
Summary
This study will compare the health outcomes of infants born to mothers who received H1N1 vaccination during their pregnancy with infants whose mothers did not receive the vaccine. We want to determine if there are differences in illness rates for respiratory infections, visits to doctors or emergency departments and admissions to hospital.
This research is important because: 1) doctors and public health officials need to be able to give accurate information to women about the short and longer term risks and benefits of receiving vaccination in pregnancy, 2) health system planners need to be able to predict how many immediate and longer-term health services will be required during an influenza outbreak or pandemic and, 3) there will no doubt be either another pandemic or emerging infectious disease that requires advance preparation to plan for all outcomes.
