I thought I had read a while ago that it was not recommended. Upon further research, I should retract "ignoring the science", as it is being recommended to healthcare professionals, even pregnant ones. They are told they can make the personal decision though at this time there is insufficient data on the effects on pregnant women and their babies compared to non-pregnant women. So it would be more accurate to say that instead of ignoring science, she is trusting the experts in the absence of data.
Pregnant women or nursing moms who want the COVID-19 vaccine should get one, experts say. That’s true even though there’s a lack of safety data in these groups, according to guidance from the CDC, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine.
Women who are pregnant and their doctors should weigh things like the extent of COVID-19 transmission in the community, the patient's risk of contracting COVID-19, risks of COVID-19 to the patient and baby, how well the vaccine works and its side effects, and the lack of data about COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy.
"If pregnant people are part of a group that is recommended to receive a COVID-19 vaccine (eg, healthcare personnel), they may choose to be vaccinated," the CDC says.
