The CDC Announces That Coronavirus Vaccines Do Not Increase the Risk of Miscarriages or Birth Defects
Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) outlined new data on Wednesday that found that coronavirus vaccines do not increase the risk of miscarriage or birth defects.
Christine Olson, a CDC medical officer, said the agency tracked 1,613 pregnant women who were inoculated against COVID-19 and who delivered 1,623 live-born infants — including 42 twins.
Thirty percent of the women were vaccinated in the second trimester, and 70 percent received their shots in the third trimester.
