GPs best for pregnancy immunisations
Women under GP care more likely to have flu and pertussis vax than under obstetrician: study
Pregnant women under antenatal care from a GP are more likely to receive recommended immunisations than if cared for by an obstetrician or midwife, Victorian data shows.
Women are 49% more likely to have an influenza vaccination and 57% more likely to have a pertussis vaccination if their antenatal care is GP-led, compared with being cared for by an obstetrician, the analysis reveals.
