COVID-19 Vaccines: 1 Safety Surveillance 2 Manual
While there is no indication that pregnant women have an increased susceptibility to infection with SARS-CoV-2, there is evidence that pregnancy may increase the risk of severe illness ...attribute-to-highlight medbox">and mortality from COVID-19 disease in comparison with non-pregnant women of reproductive age.
