Summary

This study at Johns Hopkins Hospital is looking at how COVID-19 infection and mRNA vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) affect pregnant women and their newborns. Researchers will collect blood, placenta, and breast milk samples from 300 participants to study immune responses and pregnancy outcomes. The goal is to fill knowledge gaps since pregnant women were not included in initial vaccine trials.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could provide crucial data on how COVID-19 vaccines work in pregnant women and their babies, helping guide future vaccine recommendations.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a cure or therapy. Results may be limited by the small sample size and single location.
