Delta variant could be bigger danger for pregnant women, scientists warn

Daily Mail  

Laura Brunton, who is expecting her third child, said she was initially hesitant about getting the jab The Delta variant may pose a greater risk to pregnant women, scientists have warned, as they called on expectant mothers to get vaccinated. Marian Knight, the study’s chief investigator, said: ‘It is extremely good news that so few vaccinated pregnant women have been admitted to hospital with Covid-19. ‘However, it is very concerning that admissions of pregnant women to hospital with Covid-19 are increasing and that pregnant women appear to be more severely affected by the Delta variant of the disease.’ She added: ‘I cannot emphasise more strongly how important it is for pregnant women to get vaccinated in order to protect both them and their baby.’ The study, which used data from the UK Obstetric Surveillance System, found that more than 3,300 pregnant women have been hospitalised with Covid symptoms since the start of the pandemic. Less than a quarter of pregnant women admitted during the first wave reported moderate or severe symptoms, compared with 45 per cent of those who contracted the Delta variant.
