The AstraZeneca vaccine is administered in two doses. It was developed by the University of Oxford, and has been granted emergency use authorisation by the European Medicines Agency, the WHO as well as national regulators worldwide.

Is it safe to take the Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, or J&J COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy?

No safety concerns were found in animal studies: Studies in animals receiving a Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, or Johnson & Johnson (J&J)/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine before or during pregnancy found no safety concerns in pregnant animals or their babies.

Are egg products used in COVID-19 vaccines?

The COVID-19 vaccines currently authorized by the FDA are not manufactured using egg products or egg culture. See COVID-19 vaccines for more information.

Is there egg in the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine?

Neither the Pfizer nor the Moderna vaccines contain egg.

Does Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine have egg by product in it?

No food proteins like eggs or egg products, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, nut products, or any nut byproducts (COVID-19 vaccines are not manufactured in facilities that produce food products).

Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe for pregnancy?

Vaccination is recommended for pregnant women to prevent COVID-19, including severe illness and death. COVID-19 vaccination is safe and effective when administered during pregnancy

Can you have the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine if pregnant?

Data have clearly shown that receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy reduces the risk for infection, severe illness and death from COVID-19 among people who are pregnant.

What can you tell us about pregnancy after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 shot?

What can you tell us about that? Results from published studies suggest there is no increased risk of first trimester pregnancy loss for patients who receive any of the three vaccines that currently have emergency use authorization: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson-Janssen.

What are some of the side effects of the COVID-19 Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine?

Common side effects : Tenderness, pain, warmth, redness, itching, swelling or bruising at the injection site, all of which generally resolve within a day or two. Rare side effects: Some countries temporarily suspended use of this vaccine in March after a small number of recipients developed blood clots and some died.

What are the neurological side effects of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine?

For the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, there was a very small increased risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome – a rare disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the nerves, triggering numbness, weakness and pain.

Who is the scientist that developed the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine?

Katalin Kariko, PhD, a senior vice president at BioNTech, and Drew Weissman, MD, PhD, a professor in vaccine research at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, made a breakthrough discovery by modifying messenger RNA (mRNA), which provides instructions to cells to make proteins.

Which COVID-19 vaccines are based on mRNA technology?

The vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna use mRNA to fight COVID-19. When these vaccines were rolled out, it was the first time mRNA was used on humans in vaccine technology. While the concept is new to the public, the research has been around since the early 1990s.

Can you mix and match the vaccines for your mRNA (Pfizer or Moderna) primary vaccination series?

No, vaccines used for the primary vaccination series should be same. However, if the mRNA vaccine product given for the first two doses is not available or is unknown, either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA COVID-19 vaccines) may be administered.

How does the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine work?

The J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine also contains a piece of a modified virus that is not the virus that causes COVID-19. This modified virus is called the vector virus. The vector virus cannot reproduce itself, so it is harmless. This vector virus gives instructions to cells in the body to create an immune response.

Can mRNA-vaccinated mothers pass COVID-19 antibodies to babies?

Breastfeeding babies safely receive COVID-19-neutralizing antibodies from their mRNA-vaccinated mothers. COVID-19 vaccination is approved for children 5 years and older, but younger children and babies are also susceptible to infection.

Has the COVID-19 vaccine been tested on pregnant women?

Evidence continues to build showing that COVID-19 vaccination before and during pregnancy is safe and effective.

Are pregnant women more at risk of serious illness from COVID-19?

If you are pregnant or were recently pregnant, you are more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19 compared to people who are not pregnant. Pregnancy causes changes in the body that could make it easier to get very sick from respiratory viruses like the one that causes COVID-19.

Can COVID-19 affect pregnancy?

People who have COVID-19 during pregnancy are also at increased risk for complications that can affect their pregnancy and developing baby. For example, COVID-19 during pregnancy increases the risk of delivering a preterm (earlier than 37 weeks) and or stillborn infant.

What are the risks of the COVID-19 Omicron variant if you are pregnant?

Dr. Adhikari explained that respiratory infections, including COVID-19, are as infectious to pregnant women as they are in the general population. However, their effects can be far more severe due to the physiologic changes that occur in pregnancy

Does COVID-19 increase the risk of miscarriage in the first trimester?

Based on the evidence presented here, women who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 in their first trimester may be at an increased risk of a miscarriage. However, the overall rate of miscarriage in our study population was 8%.

What are the ingredients in the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine?

The Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine includes the following ingredients: recombinant, replication-incompetent adenovirus type 26 expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, citric acid monohydrate, trisodium citrate dihydrate, ethanol, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HBCD), polysorbate-80, sodium chloride.

Can you get the COVID-19 vaccine if you have an allergic reaction?

If you have had an immediate allergic reaction (a reaction that started within 4 hours) to any vaccine other than a COVID-19 vaccine or any injectable therapy, you may still be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine. However, your doctor may refer you to an allergy and immunology specialist for additional care or advice.

Can the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine cause allergic reactions?

There is a remote chance that the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine could cause a severe allergic
reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to one hour after
getting a dose of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. For this reason, your vaccination provider
may ask you to stay at the place where you received your vaccine for monitoring after
vaccination. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include:
• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling of your face and throat
• A fast heartbeat
• A bad rash all over your body
• Dizziness and weakness
