Vaccines

At Gwinnett OB/GYN, we offer several vaccines to our pregnant and non-pregnant patients. These vaccines are often given during your visit, if not you will need to make a separate appointment.

  • Flu: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that women who are or will be pregnant during influenza season be vaccinated. Flu season varies from year to year but usually begins in October and ends March. Pregnant and postpartum women are at higher risk for severe illness and complications from influenza than women who are not pregnant because of changes in the immune system, heart, and lungs during pregnancy. The single dose inactivated Influenza vaccine can be administered at any time during pregnancy, before and during the influenza season. This vaccine is reserved only for our pregnant patients. Not pregnant? Don’t worry, you can obtain this vaccine at your primary care provider’s office or local pharmacy.
  • Tdap: The Tdap vaccine confers protection to tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough). The CDC recommends vaccination of women with Tdap during each pregnancy irrespective of vaccine status. The vaccine is usually given between 27 and 36 weeks of gestation to maximize passive transfer of antibodies to the infant. Although, it can be given at any point in pregnancy or immediately postpartum. We strongly recommend this vaccine as there has been slight increase in incidence and mortality of newborns due to pertussis in recent years.

You may obtain other routine vaccines from your primary care provider. Feel free to ask about vaccines recommended for your age at your visit.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

OB Billing Changes for 2027

If you are scheduled to deliver in 2027, changes to CMS billing guidelines will affect how your maternity care is billed.

WHAT'S CHANGING

Currently, prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum care are billed as one global package. Beginning in September, prenatal visits will be billed separately if you are expected to deliver in 2027. You can expect to see individual charges listed on your EОВ.

WHAT'S NOT CHANGING

Your care will not change – only the way it is billed. You will continue to receive the same prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care from your OBGYN team.

Questions About Your Bill?

We are happy to answer any questions you may have. Please speak with your care team at your next visit or contact our billing office directly
