Abstract:

Objective: To explore the effect of peri-pregnancy vaccination with a novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine on pregnancy outcome and to provide a reference basis for the immunization strategies for peri-pregnant women with COVID-19 vaccine. Methods: The clinical and pregnancy outcome data of 1 987 pregnant women who were hospitalized in the First People′s Hospital of Wuhu and Medical Association Hospital from May 2021 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether they were vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine, they were divided into vaccinated group (n=1 346) and unvaccinated group (n=641). The clinical data, pregnancy outcomes, maternal complications and neonatal outcomes of the two groups were analyzed. Results: 1 346 pregnant women were vaccinated with inactivated vaccine in 913 cases (67.83%), recombinant subunit vaccine in 417 cases (30.98%) and adenovirus vector vaccine in 16 cases (1.19%). The proportion of postpartum women in the vaccinated group was higher than that in the unvaccinated group (60.18% vs. 35.22%, P<0.001), and the incidence of hypertension disorder in pregnancy was lower than that in the unvaccinated group (4.61% vs. 7.49%, P=0.009). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of diabetes in pregnancy, anemia in pregnancy, premature rupture of membranes, amniotic fluid pollution, postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal infection, preterm infants, neonatal malformations, low birth weight infants, admission to the NICU, and the incidence of Apgar score ≤7 points 5 minutes after delivery (all P>0.05). Conclusions: The COVID-19 vaccination in peri-pregnant women is not associated with adverse maternal and infant pregnancy outcomes.
