Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate the possible side effects and short-term safety of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in pregnant women. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 500 pregnant women who had received various types of COVID-19 vaccines between June and August 2022. The participants were selected using convenience sampling until the desired sample size was achieved. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 20). Results: The mean age of the participants was 30 years, and 34.2% of them had a history of COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, 40 of the participants had underlying hypothyroidism, and 13 cases were smokers. The most commonly reported side effects were abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and fever; nevertheless, the lowest frequency was associated with localized swelling (0%) and ageusia, localized pruritus, and urticaria (0.4%). Conclusions: There was no increase in miscarriage or serious side effects observed as a result of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant women. © 2023, Yousefi et al.
