Innsbruck gynaecologists advise pregnant women to be vaccinated "urgently" against the coronavirus, because the risks are particularly high for pregnant women. The recommendation is also aimed at breastfeeding women and those who wish to have children.
The World Health Organization and the Austrian Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics have been recommending corona vaccination for pregnant women for months. Another call for vaccination to pregnant women is now coming from Innsbruck. At the women & APOs; s clinic there, five pregnant women who were & quot; critical & quot; of Covid-19 had to be treated.
"A COVID infection in pregnant women entails significantly increased risks for mother and child," said Alexandra Ciresa-König, senior physician at the Innsbruck University Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics. The Ministry of Health also warns against this. Therefore, pregnant women would have to have an increased risk of being artificially inhaled or need intensive medical care. The risk of premature birth was also increased.
On the other hand, the mRNA vaccine, such as that of Biontech / Pfizer, is "safe" during pregnancy or lactation and "safe", explains Ciresa-König. She refers to a study of 200,000 pregnant women who have been vaccinated against coronavirus and have been scientifically accompanied. In comparison with unvaccinated pregnant women, no differences in pregnancy complications or children & APOs; s health could be detected. The Innsbruck Women & APOs; s Hospital advises pregnant and breastfeeding women to be vaccinated from the 14th week of pregnancy. From that point on, both primary vaccination and third party vaccination should be recommended. The vaccination is also recommended for people who wish to have children.
