Impact of Omicron BA.5 infection on maternal and neonatal outcomes
This study demonstrates favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes in vaccinated pregnant women with BA.5 infection following timely medical intervention. Neonates born to infected mothers have an extremely low risk of vertical transmission. Nevertheless, enhanced prenatal care for pregnant women with COVID-19 remains essential to mitigate adverse neonatal outcomes.
