Should pregnant women get vaccinated for COVID-19?

According to the opinion of a team of experts of the Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians, pregnant women are at risk of severe COVID-19, and the decision to vaccinate should be made individually for each pregnant woman and consult her with the obstetrician in charge of the pregnancy – informs Gazeta Wyborcza.

Meanwhile, online forums and social media are full of contradictory information on the vaccination of pregnant women, which only creates a spiral of anxiety and discourages vaccination, as well as the anti-vaccine community.

– There is a tragic conspiracy theory that they should not do this. Their families advise them to do so, and sometimes even doctors! This is complete nonsense, because vaccinations give protection not only to the mother, but also to the newborn – says “GW” prof. Piotr Suwalski, head of the cardiac surgery clinic of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Interior and Administration.

– Once again, we are a second-level care unit for pregnant and giving birth patients suffering from COVID-19. We, too, as practitioners, we recommend that patients get vaccinated not only to protect them, but also to protect their children – said “GW” prof. Katarzyna Kosińska-Kaczyńska, head of the Department of Pregnancy Pathology at the Bielański Hospital. – We are shocked by this death and may it be the last – adds the doctor.
