The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on vaccinated versus unvaccinated pregnant women: a retrospective cohort study
COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant women with at least one dose is associated with reduced symptoms, less headache and vomiting, and fewer maternal complications, including pneumonia, which did not occur in the vaccinated cohort. Furthermore, the Apgar score at one and five minutes is higher than 7 in children of immunized mothers.Public health strategies should promote access to vaccines during pregnancy as an urgent priority, to minimize the risk of complications from COVID-19.
