How can you be sure that the vaccines will not harm the fetus?



There is no biological mechanism that explains the possibility of such damage.

Why in the beginning was it not recommended to vaccinate pregnant women, and the recommendation was changed?



The Ministry of Health explains that they initially followed the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the recommendations of the Pfizer company.

Experience later accumulated, and it became clear that coronary heart disease was severe in pregnant women and therefore the guideline was changed.

Is it safe to get vaccinated even in the first trimester of pregnancy?



Safe to get vaccinated even in the first trimester, clarify the Ministry of Health.

No injury has been observed so far during pregnancy in the fetus.

At all stages of pregnancy, there is no prevention of getting vaccinated.

This position of the Ministry of Health is in line with the approach of the World Health Organization and the position of the Center for Disease Control.

It is based on the fact that there is no evidence of harm to the fetus or during pregnancy as a result of the vaccine, and no biological mechanism is known that could indicate such a possibility.

Is it recommended for lactating women or women undergoing fertility treatment to get vaccinated?



For women who are planning to become pregnant or are undergoing fertility treatment, it is recommended that they complete both pre-pregnancy vaccines.

For a woman who has received a first dose of the vaccine and has discovered that she is pregnant - it is recommended to complete the second dose of the vaccine according to the usual schedule.

Also, according to the Ministry of Health, the recommendation for breastfeeding women is to get vaccinated.

Are the side effects of the vaccine different in pregnant women?



The Ministry of Health is following the issue and believes that at the moment there is no difference.

One of the side effects of the vaccine is fever, and it should be treated with medication according to the week of pregnancy, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Are there pregnant women with background illnesses who should not be vaccinated?



No.

In cases of active disease, it is advisable to consult the attending physician about the timing.

The Ministry of Health recommends that pregnant women who are in a risk group for infection (facts of the health system or any other group defined as risk according to the Ministry of Health), or in a risk group for serious illness (such as obesity, pre-gestational diabetes, hypertension), be vaccinated.

What is the risk of a pregnant woman choosing not to get vaccinated?



The risk is significant.

The disease affects the placenta during pregnancy.

It can cause premature birth and harm to the fetus.

What about the vaccine near amniocentesis?



According to the Ministry of Health, women who are planning amniocentesis should avoid the vaccine around the time of the acupuncture (preferably an interval of at least a week between the vaccine and acupuncture).

This is in order to avoid fever or other side effects that may be interpreted as a complication of acupuncture.

Are there any other recommendations for pregnant women beyond the vaccine?



Due to the severity and severity of coronary heart disease, the Ministry of Health repeatedly recommends to the general population, especially women of childbearing age, pregnant and lactating women, to continue to adhere to the rules of social distance and wearing a mask, thus reducing the risk of exposure and infection.
