WHAT PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING WOMEN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE COVID-19 VACCINES
Why should I get vaccinated?
A COVID-19 infection could be dangerous to you and your baby during pregnancy. Pregnant women are at a higher risk for severe COVID-19 associated outcomes compared with non-pregnant women. Some of these risks include preterm birth, venous thromboembolism (blood clots) requiring admission to intensive care unit (ICU) care and invasive ventilation. Pregnant women who are more than 35 years old, obese, and/or have pre-existing medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes are at even higher risk of adverse outcomes.
