non-pregnant people.
• There is growing data about the safety of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy and how
well the vaccine works in pregnant people.

• If you are pregnant, get vaccinated to help protect you from severe illness from COVID-19.
• Talk with your health care provider if you have questions.
