Amid growing evidence about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy and demonstration that the benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine outweigh any known or potential risks, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and the CDC are recommending COVID-19 vaccination for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant now, or might become pregnant in the future.
On Aug. 10, the CDC published a new analysis showing the cumulative risk of miscarriage after receiving a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (13%) was similar to previously published estimates (11-16%). The analysis included 2,456 pregnant people enrolled in the V-Safe pregnancy registry who received at least one dose of a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine just before pregnancy or prior to 20 weeks of pregnancy as of July 19, 2021. These data do not suggest an increased risk for miscarriage after receiving a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine just before or within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. These preliminary findings are reassuring and can help inform discussions about COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy between pregnant people and their health care providers. Technical bulletins from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services provide more details on this and other COVID-19 topics and can be accessed on the Division of Public and Behavioral Health Technical Bulletins web page.
