The National Council for Gynecology this morning called for women to be vaccinated against corona before getting pregnant, as well as for fertility couples and lactating women, and various experts joined the call.
The council clarified that "there is no scientific basis or facts to indicate infertility as a result of vaccination using the recognized vaccines", and that according to expert estimates there is no danger to a baby breastfeeding from a vaccinated mother's milk.
The council also warned that the virus could cause pregnant women to develop a serious illness, injure them during pregnancy or lead to a premature birth.
In summarizing a document that was circulated, the council recommended allowing vaccination for pregnant women who are interested, especially if they are in a risk group, in consultation with a attending physician.
"It should be noted that the only reason there is no sweeping recommendation for the vaccination of pregnant women at this time is the fact that the safety studies of the vaccine excluded pregnant women in the first place, and therefore the complete safety of the vaccine has not been proven in relation to pregnancy or developing fetus."
However, the council also said that a pregnant woman who is not at high risk for exposure to the virus can postpone the vaccine until the second trimester of pregnancy or after childbirth.
