The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends urgent action to increase Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination among people who are pregnant, recently pregnant (including those who are lactating), who are trying to become pregnant now, or who might become pregnant in the future. CDC strongly recommends COVID-19 vaccination either before or during pregnancy because the benefits of vaccination outweigh known or potential risks.

1. Mama gets pregnant.

2. Mama gets COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy (trimester 2, month 5).

3. Mama has a healthy pregnancy.

4. Mama has a healthy baby.

5. Mama asks me, do I think her baby has protection from COVID? I say, “let’s find out!”

6. Baby’s antibody results are through the roof. Mama and doctor are pretty happy. 🥰

Edit: Just wanted to clarify a few things. I use this example as a measure of hope and encouragement for pregnant women. Hope that the antibodies that passed from mother to child are going to be in some way protective, and encouragement to get the vaccine while pregnant. We have a lot to learn as far as quantity of antibodies which infers immunity and quality of the response of infant. This mother was just curious as to whether or not her child had any antibodies at all, and to be frank, so was I. I don’t offer this testing to everyone, nor do I recommend it for everyone. A negative result for example does not necessarily exclude passage of other forms of antibody, say from a natural infection. And obviously this isn’t an official study – my sample size is only one!
