If someone receives live attenuated influenza vaccine, do they need to wait 4 weeks before becoming pregnant?
Live attenuated influenza vaccine is contraindicated in pregnancy. Neither the manufacturer nor ACIP has recommended a minimum interval between vaccination and pregnancy, but because the duration of replication is similar to that of MMR and varicella viruses, it seems reasonable to follow the general rule for live vaccines and avoid pregnancy for four weeks.
