High vulnerability of pregnant women to develop severe SARS-CoV-2 infection - COVID-19 and the unknown potency of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 immune response in their offsprings, schedules the need to consider them for COVID-19 vaccination, as per a study at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), published in
JAMA Network Open.
127 pregnant women in their third trimester who received care at three Boston hospitals between April 2 and June 13, 2020, were included in the study. There were 64 women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, among which
no virus in maternal or cord blood or placentas (despite detection in the women's respiratory system), were detected.
