Should pregnant women get the covid-19 vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: The initial clinical trials did not include pregnant women, so there isn't good safety data. On the other hand, pregnant women and their babies are at significantly higher risk from COVID-19, and many doctors believe that any possible risk of the vaccine during pregnancy is greatly outweighed by the risk of not getting vaccinated. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) issued a statement advocating for vaccinating pregnant women. Pregnant women should discuss this with their obstetrician.
