    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the clinical benefits of the seasonal influenza vaccine in pregnant women. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of 10 scientific articles found on the clinical benefits of the seasonal influenza vaccine in pregnant women was conducted using the following databases: Cochrane, LILACS, Scielo, Medline, and PubMed. All articles were analyzed according to the GRADE scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence. It was found that 50% (5) were from the United States, and 10% (1) each were from Mexico, Taiwan, Atlanta, Bangladesh, and Thailand, respectively. Results: Of the total articles analyzed, 100% demonstrate that the seasonal influenza vaccine provides clinical benefits to pregnant women. Conclusions: All 10 articles provide evidence of the clinical benefits of the seasonal influenza vaccine in pregnant women, as it provides antibodies against the flu during pregnancy by reducing serum hemagglutination inhibition responses obtained through immunization. Additionally, for babies, the vaccine offers significant fetal and neonatal benefits, such as increased birth weight, reduction in low birth weight, preterm birth, prevention of fetal death, and reduction in respiratory illnesses.
