."It's true that in
January 2021, health authorities warned that because of the lack of testing in pregnant populations, the use of the COVID-19 vaccines in pregnant women was not recommended unless they were at risk of high exposure, such as healthcare workers. However,
in August, due in part to new data on the safety of the vaccines and in part to a surge in infections caused by the delta variant, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
urged all pregnant women to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Although the data is still incomplete, according to the CDC it suggests that the
benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine
outweigh any known or potential risks of vaccination during pregnancy."
