Vaccination against COVID-19 among pregnant individuals sharply lowers the risk of hospitalization, admission to intensive care and premature births, the largest Canadian study of its kind shows.
The report analyzed outcomes from nearly 20,000 COVID-impacted pregnancies between April, 2021, and December, 2022, capturing both the Delta and Omicron waves of the virus.
