There have been several studies, which have found a link between miscarriage and pregnancy vaccinations. One study found a positive association between spontaneous abortion and the flu vaccine.¹³ In the study it was found that women who received an inactivated influenza vaccine had twice the risk of having a spontaneous abortion within 28 days of receipt than women who did not receive a flu shot. In the 2010-2011 season the risk of having a spontaneous abortion was 3.7 times greater: They found that vaccinated women who had also received a flu shot the prior season had a 7.7 times greater risk of spontaneous abortion.

The authors of the study concluded that:

“The association was modified by influenza vaccination in the prior season. ... Among women who received pH1N1-containing vaccine in the previous influenza season, the aOR in the 1–28 days was 7.7 (95% CI 2.2–27.3); the aOR was 1.3 (95% CI 0.7–2.7) among women not vaccinated in the previous season. This effect modification was observed in each season.” (Donahue et al. 2017)¹⁴

There is still no reliable data on the long-term impact of pregnancy vaccination once the baby is born with regards to neurodevelopmental, behavioural and chronic illness in childhood. It even states this fact on the package insert for the whooping cough vaccine: “adequate human data on use during pregnancy are not available”.

In other words, there has been no sufficient research done on the effects of these vaccines during pregnancy on the mother or her baby. Unfortunately, at this time in many countries the majority of pregnancies are not tracked and data on the outcomes of pregnancy vaccination is not recorded.
