With so much more safety data about the shots—and information about the unique COVID-19 risks that pregnant people face—it's worth getting the shots, they say.
“ACOG is recommending vaccination of pregnant individuals because we have evidence of the safe and effective use of the vaccine during pregnancy from many tens of thousands of reporting individuals,” J. Martin Tucker, M.D.
Additionally, ACOG now recommends that health-care providers “enthusiastically recommend vaccination to their patients,” Dr. Tucker said. “This means emphasizing the known safety of the vaccines and the increased risk of severe complications associated with COVID-19 infection, including death, during pregnancy.”that being pregnant makes it more likely for someone to experience severe complications of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death due to the virus.
“COVID-19 vaccination is the best method to reduce maternal and fetal complications of COVID-19 infection among pregnant people,” William Grobman, M.D., MBA, president of SMFM, said in a statement. And both organizations make it clear that there is no data suggesting that getting the vaccine could negatively affect a pregnancy.
Of course, if you're hesitant about getting the vaccine while pregnant, the best place to go for information is your health-care provider. They’ll be able toabout your personal risk factors for severe COVID-19 symptoms or possible side effects from the vaccine. As the delta variant spreads and sends us into another coronavirus wave, getting vaccinated is the best way to keep ourselves and those around us safe.
