H1N1 Vaccine in Pregnancy: a Registry for the Fall and Winter of 2009

For Part 1, a brief amount of data will be collected on each woman at the time of her vaccination. These data will be filled out on a single data collection sheet by her Obstetrics Clinic physician or nurse, which will be completed at the time of her vaccination.

For Part 2, after a woman's expected delivery date, data sources will be used for participants. Two groups of non-vaccinated controls will be derived from the provincial perinatal databases:

1. The active non-vaccinated controls will be recruited from the concurrent year, matched to women who were vaccinated in 2009/2010. For each of the three perinatal databases, 5 non-vaccinated active controls will be matched by maternal age +/- 3 years, same-hospital delivery, and delivery date +/- 7 days.
2. The passive non-vaccinated controls will be derived from the preceding year (i.e., 2008). For each of the three perinatal databases, 5 non-vaccinated passive controls will be matched by maternal age +/- 3 years, same-hospital delivery, and delivery date +/- 7 days.

For women who delivered in Ontario, the Niday Perinatal Database will be used. (https://www.nidaydatabase.com/info/index.shtml).

For women who deliver in British Columbia, their data will be linked to the British Columbia Perinatal Database Registry (http://www.bcphp.ca/Database%20Content.htm). Women who deliver in Nova Scotia will be linked to Nova Scotia Atlee Perinatal Database (http://rcp.nshealth.ca/rcp_3347.html).
