Can pregnant women take the Covid-19 vaccine?

There are still not enough data and research whether the coronavirus vaccines are safe for pregnant women or not.

This is because Covid-19 vaccines have been granted an emergency use authorization before making clinical trials on pregnant women.

Pregnant women were not included in the initial clinical trials; but now the trials on both pregnant and breastfeeding women are ongoing.

However, we can mention a small study published on the 25th of March in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The study found that the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are safe and effective during pregnancy. It also states that the vaccines may provide protection for the babies.

This small study that included 131 participants showed that the pregnant women who got the COVID-19 vaccine produced similar antibody levels like others who were not pregnant.

On the other hand, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommends that pregnant women shouldn’t take the Covid-19 vaccine only if they are on a high risk of exposure to the virus.

In other words, if the pregnant lady has underlying conditions which place her at high risk of getting COVID-19 and these conditions can’t be avoided; then it’s better to take the vaccine.

The coronavirus vaccines should only be considered during pregnancy when the potential benefits outweigh any potential risks for both the woman and her baby.

In conclusion, pregnant women that are willing to get the vaccine should discuss its benefits and risks with their healthcare professional.

Should I take more than one type of Covid-19 vaccine?

As the pandemic of Covid-19 is still frustrating us, many questions regarding this issue come to our mind.
