The information here is about the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. These are also called “mRNA” vaccines.
For most people, getting the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible is the safest choice. However, trials testing the vaccine in pregnant and breastfeeding individuals have not been completed.
This information will help you to make an informed choice about whether to get the COVID-19 vaccine while you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
You have two options:
- Get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it is available
- Wait for more information about the vaccine in pregnancy
