This report therefore recommended the promotion of influenza vaccination to pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy and that influenza should be considered early on presentation to health care facilities in order to test and initiate treatment (10) . Several large prospective cohort studies, predominantly undertaken in the pandemic period, have reported that within the pregnant population there are factors which increase the risk of hospitalization or severe outcomes from influenza (13, 22, 30, 31) . A pooled analysis of three RCTs undertaken in LMIC reported that maternal influenza immunization is also 20% effective at protecting young infants against severe pneumonia (48) and reduces the risk of hospital admission with all cause acute lower respiratory illness by 44% (95% CI 1 -68%) (46) . ./cache/cord-302141-gd663uag.txt ./txt/cord-302141-gd663uag.txt
