CDC recommends that pregnant women get COVID-19 vaccine

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday that pregnant women should receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Previously, the agency said that pregnant women were “eligible” for the vaccine.

The CDC based its update on new research finding that there is no increased risk of miscarriages for pregnant women who receive an mRNA vaccine early in a pregnancy. For women receiving it late in pregnancy, the CDC found no safety concern for women or their unborn children.
