in pregnant women infected with coronavirus, the risk of developing severe illness increases. The disease can also negatively affect her offspring. About this in an interview with Lente.ru, director of the European Bureau of the World Health Organization (WHO) Hans Klaj, told.
“In pregnant women with COVID-19 in the second and third trimester, the risk of developing severe illness is higher than that of non-remote female reproductive age. In addition, with COVID-19, the risk of stilling and premature birth is increasing,” he said.
According to WHO, the risk group includes pregnant women older than 35 years old.
In this case, the studied studies did not reveal any harmful effects of the vaccine from COVID-19 on the health of a woman or fetus. In this regard, pregnant women are recommended. In WHO, it is also noted that nursing mothers can continue breastfeeding after vaccination.
Previously, the Deputy Director for the scientific work of the Central Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Alexander Gorelov, said that the correct vaccination of pregnant women from Coronavirus could be carried out only in the third trimester.
