Um, so I thought perhaps to start off, maybe, uh, Professor Khalil, you could start by telling us about the topics that you thought were most important to include and the papers that we've got in the series, what the readers can expect.

Uh, well, thank you, Stephanie, for having us.

And, um, really, maternal vaccination moved from, uh, you know, a relatively narrow area of, of immuniza- immunization practice to, to really becoming a major platform for protecting the pregnant woman and, and the fetus and newborn, and it almost becomes a three-for-one intervention.

And, and now we have, you know, mature programs for influenza and, uh, pertussis.

We learned im-important lessons from, uh, the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have strong real-world evidence from RSV vaccines, and obviously you've got the future vaccines in the pipeline, like the GBS vaccines, uh, which are already in late-stage, uh, development.

So this series has five articles.

So I wondered if you could tell us what specifically do you think that we have learned from these established vaccination programs?

Paracetamol during pregnancy.

Oh, well, absolutely safe.

So, um, paracetamol is safe to take in pregnancy.

It does not cause autism or ADHD or intellectual disabilities.

And just to give you a little bit of background to that, so in September 2025, uh, there was announcement by the US administration, uh, that, uh, highlighting that paracetamol causes autism in children.

And that, uh, obviously was scary to the pregnant woman, and I remember at that time I had two pregnant woman coming to me, uh, asking for an ultrasound scan to see whether baby have autism or not, because they had, uh, paracetamol or Panadol or United States called acet- acetaminophen, uh, when they were early in pregnancy.

And they were really scared, and they f- feeling really guilty that they might have harmed the baby.

What would that look like in a practical, in practical terms, like in terms of what a doctor might do or how they might behave or communication?
