A new study has found that pregnant women who receive the COVID 19 vaccine have a lower risk of preterm birth.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, also found that vaccination was associated with reduced chances of hospitalization or ICU admission among pregnant women.
Senior researcher of the study, Dr Debra Moomy, said that the findings show COVID 19 vaccination protects pregnant women and their babies from complications.
She said that although the virus continues to change its form, vaccination protects both the mother and the baby from complications.
According to the researchers, the study included outcomes from nearly 20,000 pregnancies in total.
