Pregnant Women Put On Priority List For Covid Jabs In UK

Pregnant women have been made a priority group for covid vaccination by the UK’s vaccines watchdog, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI)

Experts say they are at heightened risk from Covid and should get jabbed to protect themselves and their child.

The move follows research allegedly showing that pregnant women are vulnerable to more serious illness and pregnancy complications if they are infected with the virus.

The Royal College of Midwives and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists issued a joint statement welcoming the recognition that pregnant women were an at-risk group. They also suggested offering the jab in all antenatal clinics.

The BBC reports: Chair of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, Prof Wei Shen Lim, said: “Women who are pregnant are strongly encouraged to have a first, second or booster vaccine dose as appropriate in order to better protect yourself and your baby from any serious consequences from Covid-19.”

Dr Gayatri Amirthalingam, of the UK Health Security Agency, said: “The serious risks posed to women who become infected with Covid-19 during pregnancy have become increasingly clear.

“We know the vaccines used in the UK Covid-19 vaccination programme have been highly effective in preventing serious complications.”

Since mid-April, mothers-to-be have been offered the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna jab, with the second dose recommended eight weeks after the first.

Pregnant women are advised to book their booster dose three months after their second.

At the beginning of the UK vaccine programme, the advice was for pregnant women to be offered vaccines if they were in a high-risk group or at high risk of exposure.

  1. There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive. Just go to the Goog and type ivermectin then look at all the panic news articles. We are over the target. Big-Pharma is panicking. This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! ivmpharmacy/com (Looks like I can’t post links, replace / with .)

  2. And all those precautions on medications … if pregnant or nursing, consult your doctor…. much less vaccine precautions in the past too. Reason has flown out the door. and the ‘vaccine’ that is expermental , never before technology used, is being advocated for everyone, though it was supposedly for emergency use only. No common sense i guess. Remember how several years ago Avian flu virus was found contaminating a flu vaccine? THAT had to be deliberate.
