First known baby with a coronavirus antibody born

The woman, who has only breastfed the baby, received a second dose of the vaccine according to the standard duration of the 28-day vaccination guide.

Pediatrician has reported the first case of a woman, who was given the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine during pregnancy, giving birth to a child with antibodies against the novel coronavirus. According to a peer-reviewed study, the mother received a single dose of the Modern MRNA vaccine at 36 weeks and 3 days of her pregnancy. Three weeks later, she gave birth to a strong, healthy, girl, whose blood sample taken shortly after birth revealed the presence of antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the study said.

The woman, who was only delivering the baby, received a second dose of the vaccine according to the 28-day adherence schedule, doctors said.

While previous studies show that the transmission of antibodies from Covid-receiving mothers to their babies through the placenta were lower than expected, the current study suggests that "the potential for prevention and reduction of HIV infection comes from SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in mothers."

However, Gilber and Rudnick noted that more long-term studies are needed to determine the number of antibodies in children born to vaccinated mothers."The effectiveness of newborns and the timing of vaccination of mothers remains unknown," wrote pediatrician in the study. "We urge other researchers to compile a registry of pregnancy and breastfeeding to conduct effective and safe studies of the Covid-19 vaccine in pregnant and lactating women and their offspring," they added.
