Vaccination of pregnant women was one of the complex questions when the vaccination campaign began in Israel and around the world, but today it is already clear that pregnant women should be vaccinated in order to be protected from the virus.

And the following story shows that pregnant women should also be vaccinated to protect their baby.

A woman in Florida has given birth to what the world believes is the first baby born with COVID-19 antibodies after the mother was vaccinated during pregnancy.



The woman, who works in the health sector, received the vaccine from a modern company after 36 weeks of pregnancy, and gave birth three weeks later to a healthy child.

The antibodies were found in a postpartum test that included blood from the umbilical cord.

"To the best of our knowledge, this was the first case in the world where a baby born with antibodies after vaccination was reported," pediatrician Paul Gilbert said in a statement to WPBF.

In an article published by doctors who have not yet undergone a peer review, they explained that the safety and efficacy of flu vaccines for pregnant women have been well studied in terms of protecting the newborn by delivering antibodies in the placenta.

However not much was known about COVID-19 vaccines and SARS-CoV-2 antibodies during pregnancy, but a similar type of protection is to be expected.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Ichilov have only recently discovered that breastfeeding women who were vaccinated against corona also protected their baby from the virus, since as the level of antibodies in their blood increased, so did the amount of milk in their milk.

The vaccine also raises the level of antibodies in breast milk.

However, the study authors emphasize that it is currently unknown to what extent the antibodies will protect the newborn or when it will be best to vaccinate to deliver the best immune transfer to the newborn.

"This is one small case out of thousands of babies born to mothers who have been vaccinated over the next few months," doctors said.



Despite the current case further research will be needed to see if antibodies are indeed common in most babies born to mothers who have received the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as to see if there may be differences in the amount of antibodies depending on the type of vaccine the mothers received.
