- Abstract
Historically, pregnant women have been excluded from the majority of drug and vaccine trials, a practice that has been criticized widely by the scientific community1-3. The principles of this vaccination technology should also apply to COVID-19 vaccines and provides generic reassurance around the use of mRNA vaccines in pregnancy. Available SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and their safety profiles Four different types of COVID-19 vaccine are currently available (Table 3): mRNA, viral vector, inactivated virus and recombinant antigen. As with the mRNA vaccines, there are limited data on the safety of adenovirus vector-based vaccines in pregnancy, though adenovirus vector-based Zika virus vaccines have been tested in pregnant mice without safety concerns35.
