Immunization during pregnancy protects the mother and the fetus by providing the neonate with maternal antibodies against disease. It has the potential to impact early childhood morbidity and mortality, and thus MNI has gained visibility and priority on the global health agenda.<\/italic><\/p>\n<p><italic>The Region of the Americas is a leader in MNI, as seen by its elimination of congenital rubella syndrome in 2015 and the progress made toward neonatal tetanus elimination. In the Americas, 31 countries currently target pregnant women for influenza vaccination; and 21 countries\u2014over 90% of the Region\u2019s birth cohort\u2014have nationwide newborn hepatitis B vaccination.<\/italic><\/p>\n<p><italic>This paper describes the status of MNI in the Americas and identifies gaps in the evidence, obstacles to optimal implementation, and opportunities for future improvements. Catalysts for MNI in the Region have been political commitment, endorsement by scientific societies, an established \u201cculture of vaccination,\u201d widespread access to antenatal care, and context-specific communications; however, universal and equitable access for pregnant women and their newborns continues to be a formidable challenge, and additional vaccine safety and effectiveness evidence is needed. Continued efforts to integrate MNI with maternal and child health services will be critical to furthering the MNI platform as well.<\/italic><\/p>","DOI":"10.26633\/rpsp.2017.159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,21]],"date-time":"2017-12-21T11:29:00Z","timestamp":1513855740000},"page":"1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Progress towards a comprehensive approach to maternal and neonatal immunization in the Americas"],"prefix":"10.26633","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Alba Maria","family":"Ropero Alvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pan American Health Organization, Washington, DC, United States of America.
