If a pregnant woman catches COVID, it's very rare for the virus to be passed through the placenta to the fetus.
COVID-specific antibodies have been found infrom pregnancies of women who either caught the virus or got vaccinated during their pregnancy, confirming the passage of this immune protection from mother to unborn child.
All the infants studied either had mothers who were unvaccinated or who had received two doses of an mRNA COVID vaccine. To qualify, vaccinated mothers had to have had their second dose during pregnancy and more than 14 days before giving birth. The researchers also looked to see if there was any effect of completing the two-dose vaccine course at different stages of pregnancy. They divided the babies into those whose mothers got their second vaccine before 21 weeks of pregnancy – so about halfway through a normal pregnancy – and those who got it after.It seems that receiving a second vaccine dose in the latter half of pregnancy was more protective for the baby, but the study couldn't prove this .
