""There are a number of studies that show one of the benefits of COVID vaccination during pregnancy is the passage of antibodies to the newborn, and then that protects the newborn against COVID," says Dr. Kevin Ault."
""But we found that COVID vaccination in pregnancy protected the infant against COVID and had no apparent effect on other infections," says Dr. Helena Niemi Eide."
Babies under 6 months have high COVID-19 hospitalization rates, prompting ACOG to recommend vaccination during pregnancy. Studies show vaccination passes antibodies to newborns, providing protection. A recent study of over 140,000 infants confirms this benefit and indicates no increased risk of other infections from maternal vaccination. The research addresses concerns about potential risks, finding that COVID vaccination during pregnancy effectively protects infants without adverse effects on their health.
