Existing evidence on the safety and efficacy of getting a COVID vaccine in pregnancy all points the same way: the shot is important for maternal and fetal health.
The article from NPR discusses a study on the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine in pregnant women, highlighting that the vaccine not only protects the mother but also transfers protective antibodies to the fetus. The research, published in a leading medical journal, involved over 1,000 pregnant participants and found no increased risk of miscarriage or other adverse outcomes associated with vaccination. The study also noted that vaccinated pregnant women had higher antibody levels compared to those who contracted the virus naturally, suggesting robust immune response and potential benefits for newborn immunity. Experts emphasize the importance of vaccination for pregnant individuals to safeguard both maternal and infant health against severe COVID-19 outcomes.
