If you are pregnant
If you’re pregnant, it’s important to get vaccinated to protect you and your baby.
You’re at higher risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 if you’re pregnant. If you get COVID-19 late in your pregnancy, your baby could also be at risk.
If you have not had a COVID-19 vaccine yet, it’s recommended to get your first 2 doses as soon as possible. You do not need to delay vaccination until after you have given birth.
It’s preferable for you to have the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine. This is because these vaccines have been more widely used during pregnancy in other countries and no safety concerns have been identified.
