Some 80 000 pregnant women in England had received two doses of the covid-19 vaccine up to 31 October, up from 65 000 at the end of August, says the UK Health Security Agency. 1 It’s not possible to say what proportion this is of all pregnant women, as England doesn’t collect data linking vaccinations, pregnancies, and births. But data from Public Health Scotland 2 showed that only 15%(615/4069) of women who gave birth in August 2021 were fully vaccinated. Only 23%(165/704) of women aged 35-39 who delivered their baby in August 2021 had received two vaccine doses, compared with 71% of all adults aged 30-39 in the general population.
