In the midst of the global battle against COVID-19, a recent international study sheds light on a crucial aspect of maternal and neonatal health: the impact of vaccination on pregnant women and their newborns. Conducted across 40 hospitals in 18 countries, including Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, this study reveals compelling insights into the protective benefits of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy.
At the forefront of this groundbreaking research is Dr. Jagjit Teji, a neonatologist and site Principal Investigator at Lurie Children’s, whose expertise has contributed significantly to our understanding of COVID-19's effects on pregnancy outcomes. The study's findings, published in the esteemed American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, underscore a profound correlation between maternal vaccination status and neonatal health outcomes.
Amid the dominance of the Omicron variant, neonates born to booster-vaccinated mothers exhibited remarkable resilience against COVID-19 infection, alongside lower rates of preterm birth, respiratory distress syndrome, and NICU admissions. Conversely, infants born to unvaccinated mothers faced a twofold higher risk of mortality, emphasizing the critical importance of maternal vaccination in safeguarding both maternal and neonatal health.
