Get the second dose. Covid vaccination during pregnancy is not contraindicated. For the sake of your and your baby's health you should be under the care of a doctor who can provide advice specific to your circumstances. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!

Yes, pregnant patients should get the vaccine according the the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Discuss with you OB/GYN.
