Who is studied
The target study population consists of pregnant women who are 18 years of age and older. The exposed group (Cohort 1) includes pregnant women who received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine from 30 days prior to the first day of the LMP to end of pregnancy. The reference group (Cohort 2) includes pregnant women who have not received a COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy. Women vaccinated against COVID-19 before 30 days prior to the first day of the LMP are eligible in the reference group. Both cohorts will be matched by country of residence and gestational age at enrollment (±2 weeks).
