A separate analysis of 375 studies published in the British Medical Journal found “Covid vaccine acceptance among pregnant women was low across the studies”. The study notes that pregnant women are less likely to be vaccinated than non-pregnant women of reproductive age, particularly among younger women and those living in areas of higher socioeconomic deprivation – in large part because of uncertainty about its safety for the infant.
“Severe Covid-19 during pregnancy is associated with pregnancy complications and harms to the fetus/newborn. So by protecting the mother against severe Covid, infants of vaccinated mothers are protected against the adverse outcomes that could result if their mother gets Covid during pregnancy,” she told i.
“Even though we used statistical methods to balance characteristics of unvaccinated and vaccinated mothers that might be related to infant outcomes, we can’t rule out ‘residual confounding’,” she said.
