Can I get a Booster Vaccination While Pregnant?

A dose of COVID-19 vaccine is recommended once in each pregnancy. This recommendation is not seasonal. This dose of COVID-19 vaccine should be given at least six months after the previous COVID-19 vaccine dose (primary schedule or booster) or SARS-CoV-2 infection.

A dose of vaccine can be given at any stage in pregnancy but ideally should be given between 20-34 weeks’ gestation. If it is more than 12 months since the previous COVID-19 vaccine or infection, administration earlier in pregnancy should be considered.

For those who are pregnant and are immunocompromised, a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine within the same pregnancy may be considered if six months has elapsed since their last COVID-19 vaccine or SARS-CoV-2 infection.

How soon will I be protected against COVID-19?

The COVID-19 vaccine usually starts to work within 2 weeks. Please note that you may still contract this virus despite being vaccinated however your symptoms are likely to be mild
