More than three dozen cases of women experiencing miscarriages or stillbirths after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. It’s estimated that less than 1% of vaccine reactions are reported on VAERS.
The FDA, nor Pfizer or Moderna have commented on the cases filed with VAERS. The CDC has said that pregnant or nursing women who are part of groups recommended to get the vaccine, such as health care workers, can choose to get vaccinated.
And a 32-year-old woman in Virginia who was eight weeks pregnant reported having a miscarriage five days after being injected with the first dose of a Moderna vaccine in January. She had consulted with two obstetrics and gynecologists (OB-GYN) prior to receiving the vaccine on Jan. 14. She experienced abdominal cramping and vaginal bleeding two days later and had a miscarriage on Jan. 19. She had only been taking prenatal vitamins.

The World Health Organization does not recommend vaccination of pregnant women due to “insufficient data”. Pregnant women were excluded from trials originally, but Pfizer is currently conducting trials on 4,000 pregnant women in their second and third trimesters.
