The risk of miscarriage following COVID-19 vaccination: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Study question

What is the risk of miscarriage among pregnant women who received any of the COVID-19 vaccines?

Summary answer

There is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines are associated with an increased risk of miscarriage.

What is known already

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the mass roll-out of vaccines helped to boost herd immunity and reduced hospital admissions, morbidity, and mortality. Still, many were concerned about the safety of vaccines for pregnancy, which may have limited their uptake among pregnant women and those planning a pregnancy.

Study design, size, duration

For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception until June 2022 using a combination of keywords and MeSH terms.
