Pregnant and Lactating People

Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations is recommended for people who are pregnant, trying to get pregnant now, or who might become pregnant in the future, and people who are breastfeeding.

Side effects can occur after COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant people, similar to those among non-pregnant people

• Acetaminophen can be offered as an option for pregnant people experiencing fever (fever has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes) or other post-vaccination symptoms

There is no recommendation for routine pregnancy testing before receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine
