• [Pre-print, not peer-reviewed] The prevalence of adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes was the same among pregnant women who received a COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy and unvaccinated pregnant women (5%). Findings are based on an analysis of a delivery cohort (n=2,002) created by matching a delivery database from the Mayo Clinic with a comprehensive vaccine registry. SARS-CoV-2 infection was less common in patients vaccinated during pregnancy (n=140) than in unvaccinated patients (1% vs 11%). Tobacco or other substance use, Hispanic ethnicity, and higher gravidity were associated with a lower likelihood of vaccination.
