Who are we?
We are a team from Imperial College London who are dedicated to improving information availability for expectant parents and their healthcare providers, around vaccination in pregnancy.
This website represents our independent expert opinion, and was created for the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine via Imperial Consultants.
Meet the Team
I am an Associate Professor in Maternal and Fetal Health, studying how the immune system and the placenta work together to support the growth and development of a healthy baby. Alongside my laboratory research, I work with midwives and public health professionals to explore pregnant women’s awareness of and trust in pregnancy vaccines.
Beth Holder
I am an Associate Professor in Reproductive Immunology, studying how the immune system interacts with the placenta. I interpret and communicate findings on vaccine safety in pregnancy, particularly for COVID-19 and the new RSV vaccine.
Viki Male
As a midwife, nurse and adult educator, I am committed to health promotion. My focus is on empowering women and their families to achieve healthy, safe pregnancies with access to clear and accurate information around vaccines to support informed and confident choices.
