Pregnant Women Pass Along Protective COVID Antibodies to their Babies

Pregnant Women Pass Along Protective COVID Antibodies to their Babies - انتقال مصونیت کرونایی از مادر به جنین

Antibodies that guard against COVID-19 can transfer from mothers to babies while in the womb, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian researchers published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Pregnant women who generate protective antibodies after contracting the coronavirus often convey some of that natural immunity to their fetuses. The findings also lend support to the idea that vaccinating mothers-to-be may also have benefits for their newborns.
