Israel is now giving pregnant women priority access to coronavirus vaccines amid a rise in severe cases among expectant mothers.
The country’s health ministry said pregnant women could be vaccinated if they wished to do so, particularly those presenting risk factors.
According to experts, there exists no “biological mechanism that could explain the possibility of harm to the mother or the embryo,” the country’s health ministry said Tuesday.
“Women who have been vaccinated without realising that they are pregnant did not display any more remarkable phenomena than their non-vaccinated peers,” it said.
