Is the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine safe for pregnant women?

August 3, 2021

The AstraZeneca Covid vaccine has not been verified as safe for pregnant women. According to the company's official Product Information:

“There are a limited amount of data from the use of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca in pregnant women, or women who became pregnant after receiving the vaccine. The data are insufficient to inform on vaccine-associated risk. Animal reproductive toxicity studies have not been completed. As a precautionary measure, vaccination with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca is not recommended during pregnancy.” (Sect. 4.6, p. 5)

Fervent claims of vaccine safety, widely reported in the media and pushed by authority, are not supported by the available data.
