SAN ANTONIO – Some pregnant women are wondering if the COVID-19 vaccines are a safe option for them and their baby, as we move through the beginning phases of vaccine distribution.
Pfizer’s vaccine trials tried to exclude pregnant women, but as Dr. Ruth Berggren, an infectious disease doctor with UT Health San Antonio’s Long School of Medicine, told viewers during KSAT’s vaccine townhall, that did not happen.
“They tried to exclude pregnancy, but 23 people got pregnant anyway,” Berggren said. “And it was about half in the placebo and half in the vaccine arm. About nine of those decided to drop out once they learned they were pregnant. But 14 pregnant people decided to stay in the trial. So, they are being monitored.”
