The COVID-19 pandemic has caused serious problems worldwide, especially in health. The virus, which changed all systems and the usual daily life of people, especially affected the elderly and people with the disease. In the studies carried out, it was determined that the virus caused health problems on pregnant women and even affected unborn children.
According to the latest study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it was determined that pregnant women who were hospitalized for delivery and who were positive for COVID-19 had a higher risk of stillbirth than those who were not positive.
Pregnant women also need to be vaccinated
It was determined that the stillbirth rate, which was 1 in 155 in pregnant women who were not infected with the COVID-19 virus, increased to 1 in 80 in pregnant women who were COVID-19 positive, among 1.2 million births in 736 hospitals in the country during the period of March 2020-September 2021. It has been reported that the rate of stillbirth has increased in women who have various diseases among those who have been infected with the virus and who have been transferred to hospitals or intensive care units.
Carla DeSisto, official of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stated that in her evaluation of the results of the research, it is seen how important it is for women to give birth to be vaccinated. There is a misconception around the world that pregnant women should not be vaccinated.
