The COVID-19 pandemic has not made things any easier for pregnant women, or those who are planning to conceive. Pregnant women are at higher risk for severe infection from COVID-19 as well as an increased likelihood of ICU admission, deaths, preterm labor, stillbirth, and other complications. While the development of COVID-19 vaccines has posed its own questions, due to its novelty, a new study offers robust reassurance that vaccines are not only safe for pregnant women and their fetuses, they are also a beneficial protective measure. Today on the show we speak with Dr. Devora Aharon about her most recently authored manuscript Early Vitro Fertilization, and Pregnancy Outcomes After COVID-19 Vaccination, and its findings. Tuning in you’ll hear Dr. Devora describe which vaccines were included in the study and why, how the data was collected, and why their findings are so robust and trustworthy. To learn more about the details of the study and why pregnant women can feel safe getting vaccinated, make sure you tune in today!
