COVID-19 VACCINATION

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has crippled the health and socioeconomic systems of many countries since it began approximately 18 months ago. Without an established treatment, COVID-19 vaccination is seen as a crucial pharmacological tool to stop the current pandemic. However, many remain skeptical about the safety of these vaccines. The concerns are especially relevant for vaccination of pregnant women because pregnant women were not included in the initial phase III clinical trials of the COVID-19 vaccines
