I'm pregnant. Should I get vaccinated? Is there safety data for pregnant women? If I decide to get vaccinated during pregnancy, does it matter when I get vaccinated? I've heard that some people have had reactions after vaccination. Are they dangerous during pregnancy? If I decide to get vaccinated during pregnancy, will this vaccine also protect my baby against COVID-19? I am breastfeeding. Should I get vaccinated?
