Despite significant advances in child survival, infectious diseases continue to be among the leading causes of neonatal deaths. Maternal immunization is a well-recognized public health intervention to reduce vaccine-preventable disease-related morbidity and mortality in the pregnant woman, her foetus, and infant from tetanus, pertussis, seasonal influenza, and COVID-19. The development of new maternal vaccines against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and group B streptococcus (GBS) may significantly decrease the morbidity and mortality from these diseases in neonates and infants, 2 with the FDA approval for licensure of an RSV vaccine to be administered in pregnancy occurring in August 2023.
