Yep, a mom’s COVID shot during pregnancy protects her baby, a large study finds

Babies under 6 months of age are not able to be vaccinated for COVID, but if their mothers are vaccinated during pregnancy, newborns get some immunity, a large new study shows. The benefits wear off, though, at about 5 months of age.

A 3-year study published in Pediatrics examined newborns in Norway. It found a clear benefit for the baby when mom gets a COVID vaccination during pregnancy.
