Vaccination Safety for Pregnant Women and Children

And so children, adolescents, pregnant women,

so-called protected groups,

traditionally protected groups, uh, more and more questions a-

about, uh, about safety in pregnant women.

What, what's your sense about children, adolescents, pregnant women?

Okay, let's take pregnant women first.

Obviously, as you know, with almost all vaccine

trials, that pregnant women initially are excluded

as an exclusion criteria. So with the data that

show the efficacy and safety in both the vaccines

that we're using now,

the Moderna/Pfizer, they were excluded.

But ever since the EUAs were issued, there have been

now over 10,000 pregnant women-

Wow

... who have said and have been in the trials.

Okay.

The FDA, as part of the typical follow-up you have

following the initial, uh, um, issuing of an EUA,

have found thus far, and we gotta be careful, but thus far no

red flags about that, about pregnant women.

Next is the question of the vaccination of children,

namely pediatrics and pregnant women.

As we all know, these were not included in the original

clinical trials that led to the EUA for the two vaccines

that are currently available. But I wanna point out that

since the EUA and under the EUA, approximately

20,000 pregnant women have been vaccinated with no

red flags, as we say
