COVID-19 vaccine does not damage placenta in pregnancy, study finds
Fox News
A new study that found no evidence of injuries in the placentas of patients who received a COVID-19 vaccine while pregnant is another sign that the shots are safe for this population, researchers said.
For the research, the team compared 84 placentas from vaccinated patients with 116 placentas from unvaccinated patients. All patients delivered babies at Prentice Women’s Hospital in Chicago, according to the news release, which was published on EurekAlert.org. Most of the vaccinated patients received either the Moderna or Pfizer shots during their third trimester. The team looked for abnormal blood flow between the mother and fetus, and issues with fetal blood flow, as both issues have been reported in pregnant patients who test positive for coronavirus. The rate of such injuries was the same in vaccinated patients and unvaccinated patients.More Related News
