We included patients with singleton pregnancies that ended in stillbirth or live birth who had at least one prenatal care visit, pregnancy dating information, and continuous health plan enrollment for the duration of pregnancy. Medical records for all stillbirths were reviewed. We were statistically powered to detect an odds ratio (OR) of 1.37 when evaluating the association between influenza or Tdap vaccination and stillbirth. We also examined stillbirth rates in pregnant patients aged 14\u201349 years in the Vaccine Safety Datalink between 2007 and 2015.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In our matched analysis of 795 confirmed stillbirths in the case group and 3,180 live births in the control group, there was no significant association between influenza vaccination during pregnancy and stillbirth (343\/795 [43.1%] stillbirths in the case group vs 1,407\/3,180 [44.3%] live births in the control group, OR 0.94, adjusted OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.79\u20131.14,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =.54) and no significant association between Tdap vaccination during pregnancy and stillbirth (184\/795 [23.1%] stillbirths in the case group vs 746\/3,180 [23.5%] live births in the control group, OR 0.97, aOR 0.96, 95% CI 0.76\u20131.28,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =.91).
