nSEMARANG, AYOSEMARANG.COM — There are various factors that cause pregnant women to not get the Covid-19 vaccine injection.
One of them is the lack of clinical trial data on pregnant women.
Even so, pregnant women are advised to be vaccinated against Covid-19 so that they are not at high risk when exposed to corona, especially the Delta variant.
Launching Suara.com, the Head of Midwives in the UK urged pregnant women to inject the Covid-19 vaccine.
The data released by Public Health England shows 51,724 pregnant women in the UK have started receiving a single shot of the Covid-19 vaccine.
From the same data, 20,648 women also received a second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
Even so, thousands of pregnant women in the UK still have not injected the Covid-19 vaccine.
Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent, UK obstetrician and chief midwife, said all health professionals must take a responsibility to proactively encourage pregnant women to inject the Covid-19 vaccine.
According to a recent study from the University of Oxford, more than 99 percent of pregnant women who are hospitalized for the Covid-19 coronavirus have not been vaccinated.

The researchers said the findings were worrisome.
Because one in 10 pregnant women who are hospitalized due to the Covid-19 corona virus require intensive care.
Marian Knight, professor of maternal and child population health at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Population Health, said injecting the Covid-19 vaccine would help reduce the risk of pregnant women undergoing intensive care in hospital due to the Covid-19 coronavirus.
However, the researchers’ findings should be considered as pregnant women infected with the coronavirus and undergoing treatment in hospitals are increasing. Even pregnant women seem to be more severe when infected with the Delta variant, said Marian Knight as quoted by the Express.
Even so, Marian Knight cannot give a stronger emphasis on how important it is for pregnant women to inject the Covid-19 vaccine to protect themselves and the baby in the womb.
He can only ensure that pregnant women can inject the Covid-19 vaccine and it is safe.
We need to emphasize the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccine. Because, the benefits are not only for pregnant women but also antibodies will be passed on to their babies, said Marian Knight.
The recommended Covid-19 vaccines for pregnant women include the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Because the two Covid-19 vaccines have been proven safe and are widely used by pregnant women.
