COVID-19 Vaccine and Pregnancy
As of March 12, 2021, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should be offered vaccination at any time if they are eligible.
While research on COVID-19 vaccinations during pregnancy is ongoing it is the consensus of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) that the risk of infection or death from COVID-19 outweighs the risk of being vaccinated during pregnancy.
Please note that the Pregnancy during the Pandemic Study is in no way involved with vaccine distribution and cannot provide specific information on getting access to a vaccine in your area or if it is right for you. Please contact your physician to determine if you should be vaccinated and how to access an appointment.
