| |  COVID-19 Vaccination Safe for Pregnant People The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that pregnant people should be vaccinated against COVID-19, given new evidence of vaccine safety. Receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during early pregnancy did not increase risk of miscarriage, according to new findings. | What You Need to Know: - The report included 2,456 pregnant people enrolled in the v-safe pregnancy registry who received at least one dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine just before pregnancy or prior to 20 weeks of pregnancy (as of July 19, 2021).
- Previous findings from three safety monitoring systems did not find any safety concerns for pregnant people who were vaccinated late in pregnancy or for their babies.
- The strengthened CDC recommendations align with those from professional medical organizations serving people who are pregnant, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine.
- The rise of the Delta variant across the United States, and the increased risk of severe illness for pregnant people make vaccination for this population more urgent than ever.
 COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for all people 12 years and older, including people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to get pregnant now or might become pregnant in the future. | | | |
