Pregnancy and the Pandemic

Mounting research has shown pregnant women fare worse than their nonpregnant counterparts when it comes to COVID-19.
 
One promising finding is that the virus rarely crosses over to the fetus.

With hard data lacking, regulators have essentially asked women to consult their physician before making a call.
 
Physicians’ Overwhelming Advice: The vaccine should be offered to pregnant women after speaking with a doctor—and to avoid future uncertainty, they should no longer be excluded from such trials.
