WHO recommends against pregnant women getting Moderna vaccine

The World Health Organization is saying pregnant women should for now avoid taking Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine. The WHO earlier this month gave similar assessments on the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, citing insufficient data.

Israel’s Health Ministry has in recent days advised pregnant women to get the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine after a number of women expecting a baby fell seriously ill with COVID-19, sparking concerns.

“There is no evidence of harm resulting from vaccination during the entire pregnancy,” the Health Ministry said.
