'Many women are understandably nervous about receiving vaccines during pregnancy,' a researcher said.
Is it safe to receive a COVID-19 mRNA vaccination during pregnancy? That question has been on the minds of every expectant parent since the vaccines became widely available.Now, in one of the largest studies of its kind, scientists in Ontario have endeavored to answer this question.'Many women are understandably nervous about receiving vaccines during pregnancy,' the study's lead author, Sarah Jorgensen, a researcher at the University of Toronto, told Newsweek.
'These improved outcomes might be because the vaccines protect mothers from severe COVID-19 during pregnancy, which, in turn, is associated with pregnancy complications and harms to the fetus/newborn,' Jorgensen said. 'Or it could be because women who get the vaccine are generally from higher-income areas and have other health-related behaviors associated with improved newborn and infant outcomes. Most likely both explanations are somewhat responsible.
