NEW YORK : A new health research find that Vaccination against Covid-19 had no impact on the health of placentas in pregnant women.

The findings, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology as a research letter, emphasised the safety of immunisation during pregnancy for both babies and mothers.

Previous research on the effect of Covid-19 immunisation during pregnancy has concentrated on mother and baby outcomes.

The Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian researchers' study, on the other hand, looked at 18 indicators of placental health, such as the presence of lesions, blood clots, and inflammation, which are connected with a higher risk of poor health consequences for babies and their mothers.

The team also collected information from healthcare records on the babies' birth weights and the Apgar score, which examines babies' well-being one minute and five minutes after birth.

The findings were compared between 164 women who were completely vaccinated during pregnancy, defined as having received at least two doses of an mRNA Covid-19 vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna), and 267 unvaccinated women in a study of 431 women who gave birth to single kids between April 2020 and July 2021.

There was no evidence of present or recent SARS-CoV-2 infection in any of the women in the research. The researchers found no statistically significant variations in placental health indices or birth weights between vaccinated and uninfected women.
