SMFM updated, “Provider Considerations for Engaging in COVID-19 Vaccine Counseling With Pregnant and Lactating Patients,” to include the latest information on boosters.

SMFM and ACOG recommend that pregnant people receive a COVID-19 booster shot at least 6 months after their primary series for mRNA-based vaccines (ie, Pfizer or Moderna) and at least 2 months after their primary vaccination for the Janssen vaccination. As with the primary series, the booster dose should be given at any stage during pregnancy and postpartum.

The CDC is currently recommending that everyone ages 18 or older should get a booster shot. COVID-19 booster doses, along with the original series of vaccine doses, can be administered along with other vaccines
