With international travel on the rise following pandemic restrictions, the number of pregnant travellers is likely to proportionally increase. Recent published data suggest most pregnant travellers seek pre-travel advice from their maternity and primary care providers. With these data, it is important to provide maternity and primary care providers with guidelines and resources to help aid safe, informed, and timely delivery of vaccinations prior to travel. Vaccination for travel during pregnancy is fundamental in mitigating maternal and fetal communicable disease morbidity and mortality. This clinical perspective provides an overview of the indications, safety, and recommendations for pre-travel vaccines in pregnancy.
