The Ministry of Health writes about it.

The disease can cause premature birth and complications, and the baby can end up in intensive care.

Vaccines protect against a severe course of COVID-19.

Vaccines are safe for pregnant women and can be administered during any trimester.

It is not necessary to postpone vaccination until childbirth.

If you are pregnant and have been vaccinated before, you should get a booster dose.

Recent studies have shown that vaccination of expectant mothers also provides protection to newborns up to 6 months 

For vaccination of pregnant and lactating women, preference is given to mRNA vaccines — Comirnaty/Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

But if they are not available, you can use the Janssen vaccine.

Get vaccinated and save your life and the life of your child!

We will remind, on September 28, Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko stated that the number of cases of COVID-19 in Ukraine is increasing, but hospitalization is at a controlled level.
