Fox News
A Florida mother who received one dose of the coronavirus vaccine while pregnant has passed antibodies to her newborn, doctors say.
"To our knowledge, this was the first in the world that was reported of a baby being born with antibodies after a vaccination," pediatrician Paul Gilbert told Tequesta's WPBF. The mother, a front-line health worker, was 36-weeks pregnant when she was administered the first dose of the Moderna vaccine. A blood sample was taken after the baby was born in January to see if the antibodies in the mother passed to the baby, which Gilbert said was something "we see happen with other vaccines given during pregnancy."More Related News
