Is it safe for pregnant women to get a COVID-19 vaccine or booster?
The vaccines are safe and effective for pregnant women. Vaccination during pregnancy or while breastfeeding builds antibodies that may even help protect the baby.
The CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccination and boosters when eligible for those who are pregnant or hoping to become pregnant. Studies show pregnant individuals are at an increased risk for severe illness, hospitalization and even death from COVID-19. Those infected with COVID-19 during pregnancy are also at an increased risk of preterm birth and stillbirth.
Which vaccines are available?
When are you up to date?
You are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines when you have completed a COVID-19 vaccine primary series and got the most recent booster dose recommended for you by CDC. If you have completed your primary series—but are not yet eligible for a booster—you are also considered up to date. If you become ill with COVID-19 after you received all COVID-19 vaccine doses recommended for you, you are also considered up to date. You do not need to be revaccinated or receive an additional booster.
Are there side effects?
Side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine can vary from person to person.
Some people experience a little discomfort and can continue to go about their day. Others have side effects that affect their ability to do daily activities.
Side effects generally go away in a few days. Learn more about possible side effects here.
What is a booster?
A booster is the extra dose of a vaccine after the original (or primary) dose is administered. COVID-19 vaccines remain highly effective against the virus, but protection can reduce over time. Booster shots increase the level of immune response in those who are fully vaccinated and provide more protection against COVID-19.
