Hello Mrs, We usually try to avoid live attenuated vaccines during pregnancy, unless there are specific conditions. Having said that, I would like to reassure you that the Health Canada references indicate that ''To date, there isno convincing evidence to demonstrate a teratogenic or other adverse effect to the administration of MMR vaccine during pregnancy. An untoward MMR vaccination is therefore not a reason to terminate the pregnancy Source: https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-publique/services/publications/vie-saine/guide-canadien-immunisation-partie-3-vaccination-populations-particulieres/page-4-immunisation-durant-grossesse-allaitement.html I encourage you to mention this to your doctor at your first pregnancy follow-up appointment. I hope I have been helpful to you, I remain available if you have any further questions Tom Samaha, pharmacist
