COVID-19 vaccine

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a virus infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus (SARS-CoV-2). It can produce a fever, a cough, and difficulty breathing, among other symptoms. COVID-19 causes serious illness in certain persons. Pregnant women are more prone than nonpregnant women to have serious disease as a result of COVID-19.

Pregnant women should get vaccinated to lower their chances of becoming infected as well as the severity of their illness, according to experts. The COVID-19 immunizations do not raise the risk of miscarriage or harm a growing fetus.

In addition to getting vaccinated, you can protect yourself further by avoiding ill people, washing your hands often, and wearing a face mask in crowded public places.
