Pregnant people deserve the protection offered by SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

• It is imperative that vaccine development and deployment include pregnant individuals because: • They are at equal, if not greater, risk of severe COVID-19 illness than nonpregnant patients. • Vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to the fetus has been documented. • Placental injury from SARS-CoV-2 may lead to stillbirth and poor neonatal outcome.
