In pregnant women, the second dose of the covid-19 vaccine is more important to develop a complete immune response

A study published in Science Translational Medicine shows that pregnant women are more dependent on a second dose of vaccine to develop a full immune response. The work sheds light on how pregnancy affects immunity against SARS-CoV-2, a question still little studied. Obstetrician Mar Gil stresses the importance of getting pregnant women vaccinated, and of their inclusion in clinical trials.
