Picture used for representational purpose only MUMBAI: The second wave of Covid-19 proved deadlier for pregnant women with more deaths and ICU admissions compared to the previous year, a study by two city institutes has concluded. In the light of their findings, researchers said the vaccination of pregnant women must be prioritised. After much hesitation, the central government recently gave its nod for vaccination of pregnant women. State officials said preparations are underway to start it next week. A joint analysis by the civic-run BYL Nair Hospital and ICMR-National Institute of Research in Reproductive Health has shown that the case fatality rate (CFR) among pregnant women rose nearly eight times while severe Covid cases were at least five times more in the second wave. The findings were recently published in the official journal of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
