Pregnancy and the COVID-19 Vaccine

As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes more readily available, a conversation between you and your clinical team may assist with decisions regarding the use of vaccines approved under EUA for the prevention of COVID-19 by pregnant patients. Important considerations include:

• the level of activity of the virus in the community
• the potential efficacy of the vaccine
• the risk and potential severity of maternal disease, including the effects of disease on the fetus and newborn
• the safety of the vaccine for the pregnant patient and the fetus.
