The Role of Obstetricians and Neonatologists in Promoting COVID-19 Vaccination: Healthier Mothers and Infants

ABSTRACT

While IgA dominates the antibody transferred from natural COVID-19, it is unknown whether IgG or IgA is more important for neonatal protection. Peer Reviewed "A global systematic review found increased maternal mortality and stillbirths, increased ruptured ectopic pregnancies, and maternal stress during the pandemic compared to data prior to the pandemic, including the U.S., Canada, and the UK, as well as in moderate-income countries. The two series of mRNA vaccine injections recommended for mRNA vaccines require that other vaccines such as Ddap and influenza be deferred for 14 days after completing the COVID-19 vaccination period (i.e., five or six weeks after initiation).
