Vaccination in pregnancy, NHS England (updated 30th July 2021)

Recent internal data from the UK Obstetric Surveillance Service (UKOSS) shows that pregnant women are among week-on-week increases in the numbers of hospital admissions for COVID-19, linked with rising infection rates and the emergence of the Delta variant across England. All healthcare professionals have a responsibility to proactively encourage pregnant women to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Public Health England reported last week that 51,724 pregnant women in England have received at least one dose of the vaccine. While this is encouraging to see, hundreds of thousands of pregnant women remain unvaccinated.
