Having a COVID-19 booster while pregnant lowers your baby's risk
Publicly released:
International
The rates of babies hospitalised with COVID-19 are lower in those whose mothers received their third COVID-19 vaccine while pregnant, than those whose mothers were unvaccinated or received their second dose while pregnant, according to international research. The team monitored COVID-19-related hospitalisations among nearly 50,000 babies born in Israel, and the vaccination records of their mums during periods of Delta and Omicron spread. They say for third dose, second dose and unvaccinated mums, the rate of COVID-19 hospitalisation for their babies was 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively, during the first months of life.
