First-of-its-Kind Study Found Infants of Socially Vulnerable Mothers were at Highest Risk of COVID-19 Infection
BOSTON – At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, very little was known about SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Yet questions still remain about how the virus impacts the health of pregnant women and newborns.
In a new study published in JAMA Network Open, physician-researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston Children’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital reveal that, while mother-to-newborn transmission of the virus is rare, newborns of expectant mothers with COVID-19 can suffer indirect adverse health risks as a result of worsening maternal COVID-19 illness.

The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation is contributing $1 million to help underserved communities in King County receive their COVID-19 vaccinations.
As the vaccination campaign continues ramping up and a greater swath of the Washington population is eligible for the shots, Black and Hispanic people in King County are receiving the vaccine at a lower rate, while they have been infected by COVID at two-to-three times the rate of their white and Asian counterparts.
