NEW DELHI: A group of researchers in Germany has called for ensuring that all pregnant women are vaccinated against Covid-19 after a study hinted at damage to the fetus in expecting mothers who had contracted the infection in the third trimester.
According to a study, published in The Lancet, in pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, normalised foetal lung volume was significantly reduced compared with age-adjusted reference values in the absence of structural abnormalities or organ infarction, and was unexplained by differences in somatic growth.
