Swine flu vaccines are quite safe for pregnant women, claims a study. The government is out with a report that considers health problems which might occur after the vaccinations confirm that such vaccines are safe for the mothers-to-be.

During the H1N1 influenza vaccine campaign held in 2009-2010 session, millions of pregnant women went for the Swine flu vaccine. According to the reports, probably a less than 300 complications were notified. The researchers anticipated that around 118 pregnant women out of 1 million experienced side effects from the vaccine.

U. S. Disease Control and Prevention Centre author Dr. Pedro Moro, who headed the study, said, "Based on all the information we have available, we definitely think pregnant women should receive the flu shot in the 2011-12 season". He further told that the Flu shot will guard the mothers and their unborn babies. The baby will be safe even after the birth, he said.

However, he warned, "It is important to remember that some health events will happen by chance shortly after vaccination".

On the other hand, Kaiser Expert from Permanente Medical Center, Dr. Michael Schatz who was not the part of the study, also confirmed the vaccines to be reassuring for the pregnant women and their babies. He said that the benefits earned from this vaccine can decrease the risk in pregnant women.
