Vaccinating Pregnant Women for Flu and Covid is Illegal for Drug Manufactures to Claim but Public Health Agencies Can
No manufacturer of a vaccine can make the recommendation that their product should be administered to pregnant women. Why? Because there have never been any clinical trials to demonstrate their safety. If they did make a claim for use, they would be violating the law.
In 1997, the CDC ACIP committee first recommended “off-label” use of the flu vaccine in pregnancy. Off-label means there has been no research on this use, but some public health authorities in the US have been making the claim that flu shots are “safe and effective” since 1960. Anecdotally, miscarriage has been associated with both the flu and COVID shots, but studies have never been commissioned to determine the truth of many mother’s claims.
The Philadelphia Department of Health has a new page just for pregnant women looking for health information tailored just for them. The site and program were recently celebrated by the Philadelphia City Council as a way to help mothers as they face the worst maternal mortality rates in the country during the modern era. When you click on the button for pregnancy, you get just two health options: flu vaccines or COVID-19 vaccines.
