There's no evidence COVID-19 vaccination increases the risk of having a miscarriage, pre-term birth or other complications in your pregnancy.
The COVID-19 vaccines do not contain any live viruses and cannot give you or your baby COVID-19.

Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI)
Advises that it’s preferable for pregnant women in the UK to be offered the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines where available.
There is no evidence to suggest that other vaccines are unsafe for pregnant women, but more research is needed.

advises that pregnant women should discuss the risks and benefits of vaccination with their clinician,
including the latest evidence on safety and which vaccines they should receive.
Professor Wei Shen Lim, COVID-19 Chair for JCVI
We encourage pregnant women to discuss the risks and benefits with their clinician
There is more real-world safety data from the US in relation to the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines in women who are pregnant –
therefore, we advise a preference for these to be offered to pregnant women.
