COVID-19 Vaccines During Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Parent FAQs
By: Lisa M. Costello, MD, MPH, FAAP
A question I commonly get from patients and friends is this: Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe for people who are or want to become pregnant?
I personally faced that same question, and the answer is yes.
My husband and I were vaccinated a few months before I got pregnant. And I got boosted during my pregnancy.
I am one of the hundreds of thousands of pregnant people living in the U.S. who have been vaccinated with no safety problems, and I had a beautiful baby girl in February.
It's natural to pause to think about a decision that affects not only yourself but also another person. I decided to get my COVID booster when I became eligible during my second trimester because I trust the process. I trust the vaccine safety trials and all of the experts on the independent advisory committees who judged that the COVID vaccine is safe.
If you are waiting to get yourself or your family vaccinated because you have questions or concerns, I suggest you talk with your pediatrician or obstetrician. You'll feel better knowing that you are making an informed decision.
Meanwhile, here are some answers to questions I'm frequently asked.
