Can COVID-19 strengthen injection for male pregnancy preparation? Experts from China Center for Disease Control and Prevention respond

According to the COVID-19 Vaccination Technical Guide issued by the National Health Commission, women can take COVID-19 Vaccine during pregnancy preparation, but can men also take COVID-19 Vaccine during pregnancy preparation? Let's take a look together below!

Can men get COVID-19 vaccine for pregnancy preparation

Yes. For pregnant women, Wang Huaqing, chief expert of immunization planning at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that based on the understanding of the safety of COVID-19 vaccine, both men and women can be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy preparation. For women with a pregnancy preparation plan, it is not necessary to delay the pregnancy plan just because of the COVID-19 vaccination.

Can men get COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy preparation? Can women get COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy preparation?

The official opinion is yes.

The Technical Guidelines for COVID-19 Vaccination issued by the National Health Commission said that if the vaccine is vaccinated after vaccination or in the case of an unknown pregnancy, based on the understanding of the safety of the above vaccine, it is not recommended to take special medical measures (such as termination of pregnancy) only for COVID-19 vaccination, and it is recommended to do a good job in pregnancy inspection and follow-up.

For women who have a pregnancy preparation plan, it is not necessary to delay the pregnancy plan only because of the COVID-19 vaccination. However, this statement clearly cannot be accepted by expectant mothers preparing for pregnancy, as having a child is a big deal. As soon as the guidelines were released, the population preparing for pregnancy immediately exploded.

At present, although China has developed COVID-19 vaccine, its related injection data and precautions have not been improved, and the related safety data of COVID-19 vaccine injection for pregnant women is relatively lacking.

Therefore, people who have a birth plan within three months can suspend the vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine.

How long can I get pregnant after COVID-19 vaccination

The time of pregnancy can be appropriately postponed. At present, the inactivated vaccines used in clinical practice in China only have antigenicity, but lose infectivity. In animal models for studying vaccines, the vaccines have not shown toxicity to pregnant animals. However, due to the exclusion of pregnant and lactating women from the Phase III clinical trial of COVID-19 vaccine, there is a lack of data on the safety of pregnant vaccines. The contraindications in the instruction manual require pregnant and lactating women not to receive vaccinations. Considering that the research data on the safety of the offspring after the vaccination is still insufficient, if the pregnant women have been vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine, so worried about the risks, it would be safer to wait until 3 months after the vaccination before having children.

The above is the detailed information about whether male pregnancy preparation can take COVID-19 vaccine. I hope it can help you.
