The World Health Organization releasednew guidance about Moderna Inc.’s Covid-19 vaccinethis week, recommending generally against the use of the vaccine during pregnancy except in those at high risk of exposure or having a severe case.
“In the interim, WHO recommends not to use mRNA-1273 in pregnancy, unless the benefit of vaccinating a pregnant woman outweighs the potential vaccine risks, such as in health workers at high risk of exposure and pregnant women with co-morbidities placing them in a high-risk group for severe Covid-19,” the guidance said. The agency said its recommendations would be updated as more data become available.
