Are COVID-19 vaccines available for people who are pregnant?
The quick answer is, yes!
Limited information was originally available regarding the vaccine and pregnancy. However, the CDC currently states: “Pregnant people are more likely to get severely ill with COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant people. If you are pregnant, you can receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy can protect you from severe illness from COVID-19.”
Additionally, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that pregnant individuals have access to COVID-19 vaccines.
At Heartland Surrogacy, we ask about vaccination during the application and matching stage and match intended parents and surrogates accordingly.
