"There is no theoretical risk that the vaccine can hurt your baby or be transferred to your baby or somehow get incorporated into your DNA or even impact your fertility," he said Wednesday.
Pregnancies are a high-risk health condition for women, but Dr. Aziz said the vaccine "should be as safe in a pregnant person as it is in a non-pregnant person."
