Who can get the vaccine?

Yes, the COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for all people 12 years and older, including people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant now, or might become pregnant in the future. Studies continue to show that there are no adverse effects of health issues linked to pregnant women who received the COVID-19 or their children.
