Should you still get the COVID-19 vaccine if you’re pregnant?

MADISON, Wis. — A new study finds pregnant women with serious coronavirus symptoms are at greater risk of dying than non-pregnant women with the same symptoms. They also found severe illness leads to more serious complications for pregnant woman.
Dr. Matt Anderson at UW Health says it’s an intimate conversation he is currently having with his patients, but he is recommending expecting mothers to still get the COVID-19 vaccine.
That does contradict recent thinking from the WHO, which writes, “while pregnancy puts women at a higher risk of severe COVID-19, the use of this [Moderna] vaccine in pregnant women is currently not recommended, unless they are at risk of high exposure.”
