Full Prescribing Info
Use In Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy: Pregnant women must not be vaccinated with Priorix.
However, fetal damage has not been documented when measles, mumps or rubella vaccines have been given to pregnant women.
Even if a theoretical risk cannot be excluded, no cases of congenital rubella syndrome have been reported in more than 3500 susceptible women who were unknowingly in early stages of pregnancy when vaccinated with rubella containing vaccines. Therefore, inadvertent vaccination of unknowingly pregnant women with measles, mumps and rubella containing vaccines should not be a reason for termination of pregnancy.
Pregnancy should be avoided for one month after vaccination. Women who intend to become pregnant should be advised to delay pregnancy.
Lactation: There is no human data regarding use in breast-feeding women. Persons can be vaccinated where the benefit outweighs the risk.
