Article Synopsis
- In early 2023, a study demonstrated that vaccinating pregnant women effectively reduces the chances of severe COVID-19 complications and maternal health issues.
- The INTERCOVID-2022 study, conducted across 40 hospitals in 18 countries, analyzed how COVID-19 during pregnancy affects newborns and the benefits of maternal vaccination during the Omicron variant period.
- Results showed that newborns from mothers who received a booster vaccine had significantly lower risks of contracting COVID-19 and experiencing preterm birth compared to those from unvaccinated mothers.
Pregnancy outcomes and vaccine effectiveness during the period of omicron as the variant of concern, INTERCOVID-2022: a multinational, observational study.

Background: In 2021, we showed an increased risk associated with COVID-19 in pregnancy. Since then, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has undergone genetic mutations. We aimed to examine the effects on maternal and perinatal outcomes of COVID-19 during pregnancy, and evaluate vaccine effectiveness, when omicron (B.
