CBS News: First baby in U.S. born with antibodies against COVID-19 after mom receives dose of Moderna vaccine while pregnant
At 36 weeks pregnant, a Florida health care worker received her first shot of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. She gave birth three weeks later to a healthy baby girl — with COVID-19 antibodies.
There has been hesitation with some pregnant women over getting the virus, but this should go a long way in putting some fears at ease.
Doctors say a Florida mother who received one dose of Moderna vaccine while pregnant has passed antibodies to her newborn.
