Can I get the vaccine if I am pregnant?

Yes. A pregnant person who is part of a group recommended to receive COVID-19 vaccine (e.g., healthcare personnel) may choose to be vaccinated. There are currently few data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnant or lactating people. When making a decision, you should consider the:
  • • level of COVID-19 community transmission•  
  • patient’s personal risk of contracting COVID-19
  • • risks of COVID-19 to the patient and potential risks to the fetus
  • • efficacy of the vaccine
  • • side e ects of the vaccine
  • • lack of data about the vaccine during pregnancy

It’s also important to know that:
  • The mRNA vaccines do not contain any virus particles.
  • Within hours or days our bodies eliminate mRNA particles used in the vaccine, so these particles are unlikely to reach or cross the placenta.
  • The immunity that a pregnant individual generates from vaccination can cross the placenta, and may help to keep the baby safe after birth.
*Ultimately, it is crucial that you speak with your medical doctor regarding the benefits and risks of the COVID-19 vaccine if you are pregnant or breast feeding.
