- On September 18 and 19, 2025, federal health authorities and CDC advisors convened to examine vaccine safety information related to COVID-19 immunization during pregnancy and in pediatric populations.
- The review followed reports to VAERS of possible birth defects and deaths in children after vaccination, although VAERS only flags potential safety signals and does not prove causation.
- Large federal studies and Pfizer clinical trial data showed no increased risk of birth defects or pregnancy complications linked to COVID vaccines.
- FDA officials, including Dr. Marty Makary, have indicated plans to provide full transparency by releasing all safety data to respond to public concerns regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy.
