The Ministry of Health published tonight (Thursday) its list of recommendations regarding vaccines for pregnant women, lactating women or women planning to become pregnant. The Ministry of Health usually recommends getting vaccinated, but women in the first trimester of their pregnancy are called not to do so. The Ministry of Health explains this directive by the fact that during this period, internal bleeding, fetal malformations and miscarriages (regardless of the corona) occur at a higher rate than during the rest of the pregnancy.

Along with the guidance of the first trimester for the first period, the Ministry of Health notes that there is no evidence of harm to the fetus due to taking the vaccine. The Ministry of Health recommends that breastfeeding women get vaccinated; The recommendation for women planning to become pregnant is to receive the two doses of the vaccine beforehand, along with a woman who received the first dose and then discovered that she is pregnant – the normal schedule of receiving the second vaccine should be continued. In addition, pregnant women have a background illness or who belong to a particular risk group to get vaccinated, and so do pregnant women in the late two-thirds of pregnancy. Finally, the recommendation for women planning to have amniocentesis is to avoid getting vaccinated a week apart from the test.

Meanwhile, at Beilinson Hospital we were informed that there had been a deterioration in the condition of the two corona-sick mothers who were transferred to it about ten days ago. Both were connected to the Acme device and hospitalized in a very serious condition. Dr. Ilya Kagan, director of Corona’s Intensive Care Unit at the hospital, said: “As their condition worsened, we decided to connect them to an acoustic device that replaces lung function until they recover. Their condition is defined as very difficult and unstable. ‘

About ten days ago, the two were hospitalized, after being transferred from the hospitals to Niado and Sheba Tel Hashomer due to a shortage of hospital beds. When one of them arrived at Beilinson a few days ago, the doctors decided to rush the girl. Prof. Arnon Wiesnitzer, director of the Women’s Hospital, said: “This is a violent and more severe wave than its predecessors, which also affects the population of young pregnant women.”
