Latest reports suggest that more than 90,000 women in the US have received their jabs for Covid-19. They have thankfully not shown any serious safety concerts. With this effect, hundreds of thousands of pregnant women have been given the green light to get their vaccines. Bereaved families and campaigners are elated with this news. 

“All pregnant women would be offered the Pfizer or Moderna jab based on their age and clinical risk group after real-world data from the US showed about 90,000 pregnant women had been vaccinated without any safety concerns, the UK’s Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said on Friday,” The Guardian reported. 

The new research also states that women who are trying to have a baby, recently had a baby or are breastfeeding can be vaccinated with any jab, depending on their age and clinical risk group.
