Include information about congenital CMV in all NHS antenatal booking packs

Include information about congenital CMV in all NHS antenatal booking packs — 15 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We want the Government to ensure that every pregnant woman in the UK receives information about congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) in their antenatal booking pack. This should include simple prevention advice and clear guidance on risks and symptoms.

Additional details

Congenital CMV is the most common infectious cause of birth defects and disabilities in the UK, but most parents have never heard of it. Simple hygiene measures can cut risk, yet families often only learn about CMV after diagnosis. Including CMV information in booking packs could prevent avoidable harm.
