Podcast 758: Vaccine Safety During Pregnancy

Contributor: Nick Tsipis, MD

Educational Pearls:

Observational study in Israel evaluated cohort of vaccinated pregnant women receiving the initial Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine
Looked at 24,288 newborns with about 16,697 exposed to maternal vaccination in utero
Longitudinal follow up showed no significant difference in preterm births, neonatal hospitalizations, post-natal hospitalizations, congenital abnormalities, or mortality
While this is not a randomized-controlled trial, this observational trial has a very large population that was studied supporting the safety profile of birth outcomes relating to receiving COVID mRNA vaccines during pregnancy
