Are COVID vaccines safe for pregnant women? The CDC says yes, but more study is needed.
Updated 1:47 PM;
A new study published Wednesday showed promising evidence that the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines don’t pose serious risks to pregnant women.
But researchers stressed the findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study are preliminary and more information is needed. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, included 35,691 participants who identified as being pregnant when they received the vaccine or became pregnant shortly thereafter. To date, it’s one of the largest reviews on COVID-19 vaccinations in pregnancy.

WASHINGTON - One of the largest reports on COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy bolsters evidence that it is safe although the authors say more comprehensive research is needed.
The preliminary results are based on reports from over 35,000 U.S. women who received either the Moderna or Pfizer shots while pregnant. Their rates of miscarriage, premature births and other complications were comparable to those observed in published reports on pregnant women before the pandemic.
The new evidence from researchers at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

A study of more than 2,000 pregnant women from dozens of hospitals around the world has found that those with COVID-19 saw a significantly higher risk of death and of complications for themselves or their newborns.
The study, published Thursday in JAMA Pediatrics, underscores that pregnancy is a major risk factor for complications involving COVID-19 one that should be considered alongside the likes of obesity and asthma and could help persuade more women to line up for vaccinations.
The new report adds to a growing body of evidence “that will hopefully tip the scales towards more people getting vaccinated,” said Dr. Ilina Pluym, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at UCLA who was not involved in the research.
