Pregnant women at high risk of severe Covid as lockdown ends and infections soar, doctors warn
"We are concerned that increasing rates of Covid infection will adversely impact pregnant women.
"We know that those who are pregnant with Covid are at an increased risk of becoming severely ill, and the vaccine is the safest and most effective way of protecting women and their babies", he told theThe RCOG said it understands the "mixed messages" that have been relayed by the government regarding the safety of the vaccine at the start of the campaign.
So far in the UK over 46 million Brits have had a first dose of a jab and 35.1 million have now had a second. The RCOG says more should have been done to urge pregnant women to get the vaccine after the JCVI said they were safe for use in April. RCM chief executive Gill Walton says research confirms that it is safe for women to have the Covid vaccine.The experts found that there was no reason to think there would be an increased risk of miscarriage as the vaccine does not cross from mum to placenta and therefore cannot damage the child.
