I understand the vaccine will not be given to pregnant women or those who are breast feeding.

There's bound to be a drop in the birth rate next year then. Many planning to become pregnant will have delayed it.

Pregnant women and those planning to become pregnant in the near future will not be offered the vaccine. HTH.

Pregnant women are classed as "clinically vulnerable" and will not be offered the vaccine until after their pregnancy.

Just a query.

Anyone have any thoughts on women of child bearing years taking the Vaccine when it does get rolled out. Thinking of the Thalidomide devastation during the sixties. Yes l know then it was a medication and not a vaccine but a vaccine is still a foreign body in a pregnant woman 's body. Have clinical trials factored in safe guarding in pregnancy or future potential pregnancy into it's extensive research l wonder and have they answers for us regarding the above.
