Maternal and Fetal Health in the Context of the COVID-19 Vaccination; A Depth Review Study for Guidelines, Risks and Benefits of COVID-19 in Pregnancy

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised significant concerns regarding maternal and fetal health, particularly in the context of vaccination during pregnancy. Research indicates that COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy is generally safe and beneficial for both maternal and fetal health. However, uptake remains suboptimal due to various factors, including misinformation and mistrust. This answer synthesizes findings from multiple studies to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on maternal and fetal health. The impact of COVID-19 on fetal health has emerged as a significant concern, particularly as the pandemic has highlighted various risks associated with maternal infection. The overall decline in healthcare access during the pandemic has further complicated the situation, as many women are unable to obtain necessary prenatal and postnatal care. The impact of COVID-19 on fetal immunity is a critical area of research, particularly given the unique immunological challenges faced by pregnant women.
