Are Pregnant Women Eligible to Receive mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines?

The U.S. CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) committee posted the December 12, 2020, presentation, which includes statements relevant to women who are pregnant and intend to be vaccinated with the BNT162b2 vaccine.

The ACIP confirmed: 'There are no data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnant women.'

 And, if a 'woman is part of a group (healthcare personnel) who is recommended to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and is pregnant, she may choose to be vaccinated and discussions with her healthcare provider can help her make an informed decision.'
