I am r.h. negative. I had the rogram shot in 1967, with my second child. I have been told it wasn't given until 1970. Was it given as an experimental shot. I had two miscarriages after that, but gave birth to two other children. I am interested in, if the shot is given for any other reason today. I carried a card in my wallet until I couldn't have children any more.....

If an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive baby, her immune system may produce antibodies against the baby's Rh-positive blood cells, leading to serious complications in future pregnancies. The shot helps prevent the mother's immune system from recognizing and attacking Rh-positive cells, ensuring both the mother’s and baby's health. It's typically given around the 28th week of pregnancy and after delivery if the baby is Rh-positive.

If you have RH- factor, When you give birth or have a miscarriage you need to be administered the RH shot immediately.
