Description

Xue-Feng Liang and co-authors measure how well flu shots in pregnancy prevented flu-like illness in Gansu, China, in this 2024 paper. Province records from the 2019 to 2021 seasons formed a large comparison group. Vaccinated and unvaccinated mothers were followed for illness rates.

Illness struck about four point seven percent of the vaccinated group and about six point nine percent of the unvaccinated. After adjustment, the vaccine's protection came to roughly twenty-two percent. Timing within pregnancy made no clear difference. The authors conclude the shot gave real, if modest, protection, and they report the finding for maternal health planning.
