Expectant mums can now get their Covid-19 vaccines at a new drop-in clinic within the RVI's maternity department.
Pregnant women under the care of midwives at the hospital - and those who have recently given birth - are able to get their first, second or booster jabs at the clinic as part of a drive to improve vaccine take-up.
Data shows pregnant women are at risk of getting severely ill with Covid-19 - particularly late in pregnancy.

Getting the virus can result in a higher chance of needing intensive care and a higher risk of a baby being born prematurely.
Ewa Heydecke, who is 39 weeks pregnant, received her booster at the RVI this week.
The Newcastle woman said: "I can't think of a better and more reassuring environment to get vaccinated during pregnancy. You are surrounded by midwives, equipment and the maternity assessment unit is around the corner.
"So if like me you don't like needles and are quite anxious about having anything done to you medically then I can assure anyone this is the best place to get vaccinated."
Ewa added that though vaccinations were a "very personal decision", she would encourage others in her position to listen to their doctors and midwives - adding: "I would just encourage anyone to take a moment and try to think about the consequences of not having it done.
"For me I take the advice of the midwives and doctors for other aspects of pregnancy so I apply the same logic to having my vaccines."
Claire Lisle, public health midwife at Newcastle Hospitals NHS Trust said she hoped the drop-in encourages more women to get the vaccine. She said: "We’re delighted to be offering the Covid-19 vaccination within our maternity unit.
"We’re now in our second week and hope that women will continue to access the service and protect themselves and their baby."
Dr Ken Hodson, a consultant obstetrician at the Trust said: "With the new variant of Covid-19 and increasing rates of infection in the community, it is vital that pregnant women protect themselves and their babies.
"The best way to do this is by vaccination. We have increasing data both from the UK and worldwide, that vaccination works and is safe in pregnancy."
Dr Hodson said the team was happy to talk to anyone unsure about the jabs at the clinic.
The drop-in clinic is open from Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm within the antenatal clinic in the hospital's Leazes Wing.
