A study reveals that almost 30% of future French mothers were not yet vaccinated once morest Covid-19 in January. Far too great risks.
The Ministry of Health is worried and there is good reason: 29.8% of pregnant women in France had not received any doses of vaccine another month ago. For this population, the risks of serious forms are very high, indicates a specialist.
22 times more likely to give birth prematurely
On the occasion of a ‘press briefing’, the Ministry of Health indicated: “This figure of 29.8% is really too high. There is 22 times more risk of giving birth prematurely and eight times more risk of ending up in intensive care or even five times more risk that the child will go to intensive care.underlines the ministry.
Five times more risk of the child going to intensive care
Remember that non-vaccination puts both the pregnant woman and her child at great risk. Another figure: the rate of pregnant women who did not receive two doses reached 39.4%. It should also be remembered that the numerous studies carried out have not shown any consequences of mRNA vaccines on the course of a pregnancy. 84% of babies who were hospitalized were born to mothers who had not been vaccinated.
The EMA (European Medicines Agency) released its study last month on the subject. It is written that messenger RNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer) did not present an increased risk of complications for expectant mothers and their babies. The organization relied for this survey on a dozen studies of 65,000 women.

The Minister of Health Olivier Véran recalled last year that the pregnant women might be vaccinated once morest Covid-19 from the first trimester of pregnancy.
