Update: COVID vaccination for pregnant & Breastfeeding women

Posted on 10/06/2021

RANZCOG and ATAGI recommend that pregnant women are routinely offered Pfizer mRNA vaccine (Cominarty) at any stage of pregnancy. This is because the risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 is significantly higher for pregnant women and their unborn baby. Global surveillance data from large numbers of pregnant women have not identified any significant safety concerns with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines given at any stage of pregnancy. Furthermore, there is also evidence of antibody in cord blood and breastmilk, which may offer protection to infants through passive immunity. Pregnant women are encouraged to discuss the decision in relation to timing of vaccination with their health professional. Women who are trying to become pregnant do not need to delay vaccination or avoid becoming pregnant after vaccination.

Please see links below;

The RANZCOG advice has been updated accordingly and can be found here.

Read the joint RANZCOG and ATAGI statement.

Please note that this does not mean that you are necessarily eligible to have the vaccine. Please check the link below to see if you are eligible and where you are able to register your interest in having the vaccine.
