Pregnant women were not included in their first clinical trials, so, there isn’t as much data on this particular group, Pfizer’s trial will be a big help in creating more conclusive data on the subject.
A professor of international health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Dr. Anna Durbin, told ABC News: “These trials will provide important data on the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccines in pregnant women. These data weren’t collected during the Phase 3 trial and will build confidence for the use of these vaccines in women who are pregnant.”
