Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are pregnant women over 18 years of age who are receiving their primary yellow fever vaccination.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously received a yellow fever vaccination or those with medical conditions incompatible with blood sample collection may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the immunogenicity and tolerance of the yellow fever vaccine when administered to pregnant women compared to those vaccinated outside of pregnancy. It involves collecting blood samples to assess the immune response and any potential adverse effects on both the mother and fetus. Given the risks associated with yellow fever, especially in endemic regions, understanding the safety and efficacy of vaccination during pregnancy is crucial for public health. The study is conducted at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, focusing on women who meet specific eligibility criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide critical insights into the safety and effectiveness of yellow fever vaccination during pregnancy, potentially guiding vaccination policies for pregnant women.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on yellow fever vaccination during pregnancy, similar studies on vaccine safety in pregnant populations have shown promising results, indicating the potential for this approach.
