Re: Covid-19: Study provides further evidence that mRNA vaccines are safe in pregnancy

Dear Editor

Further to my recent response, it would appear the UK Government are now saying singing a different tune.
Under the heading “Toxicity conclusions.”
“In the context of supply under Regulation 174, it is considered that sufficient reassurance of safe use of the vaccine in pregnant women cannot be provided at the present time: however, use in women of childbearing potential could be supported provided healthcare professionals are advised to rule out known or suspected pregnancy prior to vaccination. Women who are breastfeeding should also not be vaccinated.”
