Is there a best trimester to get it? Does it matter which shot you get? Is it OK to wait to get the booster until after the baby is born? Dr. TaliBogler, founder of the Pandemic Pregnancy Guide, answers these questions and more.
Should people get a COVID booster while pregnant? How should pregnant people space out their COVID vaccines?trying to become pregnant,Exactly when pregnant individuals are eligible to receive their booster depends on the province. In Ontario, it’s three months after their primary series. In BC, doctors are recommending pregnant people get the booster eight weeks after their dose.The best time to get your vaccine or booster dose is now, regardless of gestation.
Do pregnant people have worse outcomes than people who aren’t pregnant if they do get COVID during this Omicron wave? A secondary benefit of the vaccine is that antibodies will be passed to the infant. There’s a study that looked at anti-COVID antibodies in infants who were two months old and six months old from mothers who were vaccinated during pregnancy. Most were vaccinated at the end of the second trimester with two doses of the vaccine. In the vaccinated group, 94% of infants had antibodies at two months, and 60% had antibodies at 6 months.
Most people who are hesitant seem to be worried about the lack of long-term data of the vaccine. They usually have no specific ideas about what could happen down the road, but they are worried thatI usually answer this by first saying “of course we want more data, rather than less.” The other concern from pregnant patients is that there isn’t enough data on the effect of the vaccine in pregnancy on the fetus. But we actually have a lot of safety data at this point. More than 180,000 pregnant individuals have been vaccinated in the USA, and 100,000 in the UK, with no safety concerns appearing in reporting.
