Inactivated or Assembled Virus Vaccine
In situations where inactivated virus or parts of a virus are administered, in general, there is no contraindication to immunization during pregnancy. Thus influenza vaccination is given to pregnant women at risk, as are vaccinations against hepatitis A and B. In the case of rabies vaccination, information is very limited.
HPV vaccine was introduced in 2006. It is not to be used during pregnancy. It is a pregnancy category B agent and no adverse effects upon the fetus have been reported with inadvertent use, however, the experience is limited and accidental administration during pregnancy needs to be reported to the pregnancy registry of the manufacturer or the CDC.

“According to the historian, they escaped as by a miracle all roving bands of Indians, and reached their homes in safety, with their trophies, for which the General Court paid them fifty pounds. The family of Hannah Dustan all assembled alive once more, except the infant whose brains were dashed out against the apple tree, and there have been many who in later time have lived to say that they have eaten of the fruit of that apple tree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Freedom is the most contagious virus known to man.”
