Have you had your coronavirus vaccine?

The COVID-19 vaccine is recommended for people at increased risk from COVID-19. 

You may be offered a COVID-19 vaccine if you: 

• are aged 65 or over 

• are pregnant 

• are aged 6 months to 64 years and have an increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 because of a health condition or treatment 

• live in a care home for older adults 

• are a frontline health or social care worker 

If you’re pregnant 

If you’re pregnant, it’s important to get vaccinated to protect you and your baby. The antibodies your body produces in response to the vaccine can also give your baby protection against COVID-19. 

It’s safe to have the vaccine during any stage of pregnancy, from the first few weeks up to your expected due date. You do not need to delay vaccination until after you have given birth. 

There’s no evidence the COVID-19 vaccines have any effect on your chances of becoming pregnant or have any effect on male fertility. 

If you have any concerns about getting the vaccine during pregnancy, you can talk to a GP, your health visiting team or maternity team for advice.
