Vaccination is one of the most powerful and lifesaving pillars of preventive medicine in women’s healthcare, maternal safety, and fertility management. From safeguarding adolescent girls and adult women against cervical cancer to shielding expectant mothers and newborns from life-threatening respiratory infections, timely clinical immunizations provide robust, lifelong protection.
At Dr. Noopur's Florentine Clinic, all vaccines are stored in medical-grade automated cold-chain refrigeration units and administered under the direct clinical oversight of Dr. Noopur Bajpai (MS Obs & Gynae), adhering strictly to FOGSI, WHO, and CDC immunization protocols.

Pre-Conception / Pre-IVF | Non-pregnant females planning pregnancy / IVF | 1 or 2 Doses (Wait 1 month before conception) |
Protects against German Measles. Crucial before IVF or natural conception to avoid Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS), which causes severe congenital heart defects, cataracts, and fetal loss. |
|
Hepatitis B Engerix-B / GeneVac-B |
Universal / Maternity | Pre-conceptional, at-risk pregnant women, & adults | 3 Doses (0, 1, 6 months) | Recombinant vaccine preventing chronic hepatitis B virus infection, liver cirrhosis, and perinatal vertical transmission from mother to infant during delivery. |

The optimal age is 9 to 14 years (requiring only 2 doses 6 months apart). For young women aged 15 to 26, a 3-dose regimen (0, 2, 6 months) is advised. Females up to age 45 who have not received the vaccine can also take it after consulting with Dr. Noopur for significant ongoing protection.
Yes. Non-live, inactivated vaccines such as Tdap (whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria) and the quadrivalent Influenza shot are completely safe and medically recommended worldwide to shield both the mother and newborn from life-threatening infections.
Yes. Even if you have been exposed to one or more HPV strains in the past, Gardasil 9 protects against nine distinct strains, offering robust defense against the other oncogenic types you have not encountered.
Because the MMR/Rubella vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine, international medical protocols require completing the shot at least 4 weeks before attempting conception or starting an IVF embryo transfer cycle to ensure zero fetal transmission risk.
