AbstractThe COVID-19 outbreak is increasing around the world in the number of cases, deaths, and affected countries. Currently, the knowledge regarding the clinical impact of COVID-19 on maternal, fetal, and placental aspects of pregnancy is minimal. Although the elderly and men were the most affected population, in previous situations, such as the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic and the Ebola epidemic, pregnant women were more likely to develop complications than nonpregnant women. There are unanswered questions specific to pregnant women, such as whether pregnant women are more severely affected and whether intrauterine transmission occurs. Additional information is needed to inform key decisions, such as whether pregnant health care workers should receive special consideration, whether to separate infected mothers and their newborns, and whether it is safe for infected women to breastfeed.

Safety and efficacy of vaccinations during pregnancy have been a matter of debate. In the aftermath of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, a growing body of research has emerged, which points toward the importance of adhering to influenza vaccination recommendations for pregnant women. The same applies for vaccination against pertussis. Some vaccines (e.g., live attenuated) are still contraindicated during pregnancy. However, data indicate that these vaccines do not result in fetal impairment when administered accidentally during pregnancy. In the following, we provide a review on vaccination-related safety and efficacy aspects in pregnant women, shedding some light on potential barriers that stymie vaccination uptake among pregnant women and introducing strategies to overcome these barriers.
