Description
Jia Xu and coauthors review in 2026 COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy, with focus on newer second-generation vaccines. Pregnancy changes the immune system and breathing reserve, raising the risk of severe illness from the virus. Many pregnant women still hesitate over vaccine safety for themselves and their babies.
The review weighs protection and safety evidence for mothers and newborns, including outcomes after infection with the Omicron variant. It then examines why hesitancy persists despite reassuring data, from safety worries to access problems. The authors call for refined vaccination protocols and fairer access to cut infection risk during pregnancy.
