Very good news overnight for vaccinated females.
Early reports are that female vaccination is safe for women wishing to fall pregnant, and is very likely to be safe for women who are already pregnant, far far safer than risking a bout of COVID-19.
A large UK study of vaccinated women found no transfer of vaccine to the fetus or baby, this finding was as expected because there is no know mechanism for a vaccine to transfer to the fetus or infant from the mother, so the finding confirms the vaccination is functionally safe for pregnant mothers.
Secondarily, there is no detection of the vaccines in mother's milk and there is detection and transfer of antibodies in mother's milk. How infants naturally get immunity to many diseases is by the uptake of antibodies from their mother's milk in the first few weeks of life. This is seriously good news, because it means children born to mother's who have been vaccinated will probably have some level of natural and potentially life long immunity to Sars-CoV-2.
Immunity formed in infants is different to immunity formed in adults, due to changes in how our bodies behave as we age, adult gained immunity is unlikely to be permanent and will require boosters, but infant gained immunity has a very good chance of being some form of life long resistance. I don't know the specifics of how or why it works like this, just that is the way it is.
