    Citation Excerpt :

    Influenza A has a high attack rate and long incubation period [10]. Extremes of age, pregnancy, obesity, and comorbidity are associated with high rates of hospital admission, ICU admission and all-cause mortality [6,8,11–15]. Antiviral treatment [16] and ventilation [17] greatly affects the clinical outcome of the patients with influenza.

    In the 1957 H2N2 pandemic, a study in the United States revealed that pregnant women accounted for approximately half of all women of childbearing age who died of influenza.5 The risks to pregnant women of severe disease from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus were established in early reports emanating from the United States.6,7 A recent systematic review analysed data on the incidence of hospitalisations due to H1N1 influenza in pregnant women.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Providing further evidence around the safety of receiving a vaccine during any trimester of pregnancy, particularly outcomes for infants, may help reassure pregnant women and healthcare providers and thereby help increase uptake of the vaccine. This may reduce the morbidity and mortality that results from influenza infection when it occurs during pregnancy [24,25,5]. The results arising from this study are reassuring in relation to the safety of receiving influenza vaccination during any stage of pregnancy, with respect to gestational age at birth and infant birthweight.

    Citation Excerpt :

    The World Health Organization declared the Influenza A (H1N1) virus to be responsible for the pandemic outbreak from June 2009 to August 2010. Pregnant women, infants, and young adults were susceptible to severe H1N1 infection [2,8,9]. The Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Chang Gung Children’s Hospital conducted a survey to analyze the prevalence rate of H1N1 antibody protection and discovered that the seroprotection rate among the general population was approximately 30% [10,11].

    In April 2009, a new influenza A virus H1N1, was identified in the outbreaks of respiratory illness in Mexico. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization declared a worldwide pandemic [3–7]. In Taiwan, the first H1N1 virus-infected case was confirmed on May 20, and the first fatal case was reported on July 31, 2009.
