“Covid vaccination is recommended for all people 12 years of age and older, including women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, looking for a child or who may become pregnant in the future.” The US CDCs (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) write this clearly in an update published today on the website. “Pregnant and recently pregnant women are more likely to get seriously ill with Covid than people not expecting” a baby. Getting the vaccine, is the message for mothers-to-be, “can protect against serious illness” from Sars-CoV-2.
In confirmation of the recommendations, the CDCs provide a picture on the safety front of vaccination with mRna shield products: “A new CDC study did not find an increase in the risk of miscarriage after Covid vaccination during early pregnancy. These results they can help inform the discussions “between pregnant women and health professionals, the body stresses.
The first US data on the safety of vaccination (with Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech) during pregnancy are defined as “reassuring” by the CDC. The report carried out took into consideration the data of three monitoring systems without encountering problems for mothers or their babies. Another report looked at pregnant women enrolled in the ‘V-safe’ registry vaccinated before 20 weeks of gestation. Scientists did not find an increased risk of miscarriage from these data. Several pregnancies are ongoing. Experts will continue to follow these women.
