In the US, the baby gets hep b right after they are born. Then there is a scedule for vaccines after that. As for you, the oy one you will need is a rhogam shot is you have a negative blood type.

It all depends on where you are. In Saskatchewan you get the TDAP vaccine after you give birth and possible MMR if you didn't get your second dose as a kid. But I've seen that in the states it's common to get the TDAP during pregnancy.

As for baby, there are vitamin shots that are sometimes given, like vitamin D, but vaccines are usually given after 6 weeks when the protection of your immune system where's off.  

You should be able to look up which vaccines are given on your state or provincial website.
