In the largest study of its kind to date, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard have found the new mRNA COVID-19 vaccines to be highly effective in producing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus in pregnant and lactating women. The study also demonstrated the vaccines confer protective immunity to newborns through breast milk and the placenta.
The study, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG), looked at 131 women of reproductive age (84 pregnant, 31 lactating and 16 non-pregnant), all of whom received one of the two new mRNA vaccines: Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna. The vaccine-induced titers or antibody levels were equivalent in all three groups. Reassuringly, side effects after vaccination were rare and comparable across the study participants.

Are children really spared the worst effects of COVID-19?
What’s the likelihood that an expectant or new mother will pass SARS-CoV-2-or antibodies that protect against it-to her fetus through the placenta or to her infant through breastfeeding?
Are COVID-19 vaccines as safe and effective for children as they are for adults? What about vaccination during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Now that vaccines, along with mask wearing, physical distancing, and other precautions, are slashing the number of older adults in the U.S. who are hospitalized with or die from COVID-19, physicians and scientists are peering deeper into how SARS-CoV-2 infection and prevention affect special populations-including pregnant women, infants, and children.
