The Ministry of Health of Madrid has activated this Monday a

priority care

procedure

without an appointment

to vaccinate against Covid-19 of pregnant women who have not yet received any dose.

The objective of this campaign is to offer them the possibility of giving themselves the injection in the first consultation or referring them to the immunization point closest to their home.

In the regional government they explain that they have adopted this measure due to the

increase in infections

among pregnant women and, above all, hospitalizations and ICU admissions.

They will be administered vials of mRNA (Pfizer or Moderna), as agreed in the Public Health Commission with the Federation of Spanish Medical Scientific Associations on August 3.

"There is no contraindication

for vaccination against Covid-19 in any trimester of pregnancy and it must be facilitated that they arrive fully immunized at the period of maximum risk of complications in case of infection, which corresponds to the final phases of the second trimester and the third trimester of pregnancy ", they emphasize in the Ministry of Health.

From there they recommend future mothers to get the vaccine "especially if there are

higher risk factors such

as obesity, age over 35 years, high blood pressure, diabetes or pre-eclampsia."

Likewise, they suggest that their family environment is also protected against the virus and prevention measures are reinforced.

"If you are planning a pregnancy, it is convenient to

complete the vaccination before

. In any case, you can consult with your health professional what is the best time to do it," they conclude in the Ministry of Health.
