The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged all pregnant women to receive the covid-19 vaccine.

In that regard, they have reaffirmed that mRNA vaccines are safe for them, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday.

"For pregnant people who are at increased risk of serious illness from COVID-19, we are strengthening our guidance and recommending that all people who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant get vaccinated," Walensky said in a briefing at the Casa White.

The CDC updated its vaccination guidelines for pregnant women on Wednesday.

They had previously said that pregnant women could receive COVID-19 vaccines, but did not specifically recommend them.

"We now have new data reaffirming the safety of our vaccines for people who are pregnant, including those in early pregnancy and around the time of conception," Walensky said.

“These data are based on previous evidence from three safety monitoring systems that found no safety concerns for pregnant people who were vaccinated late in pregnancy or for their babies.

Now, these new data did not find an increased risk of miscarriage among people who received a covid-19 mRNA vaccine before 20 weeks of pregnancy. "

Walensky said there has been an increase in COVID-19 cases in pregnant people in recent weeks.

"The increased circulation of the highly contagious delta variant, the overall low absorption of the vaccine among pregnant people, and the increased risk of serious illness and pregnancy complications related to covid-19 infection among pregnant people make the vaccination for this population is more urgent, "Walensky said.
