COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage, Pregnant Persons

Weekly COVID-19 vaccination coverage estimates for pregnant persons ages 18–49 years are based on electronic health record (EHR) data from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a collaboration between CDC's Immunization Safety Office and multiple integrated health care organizations.* Additional data on COVID-19 vaccination coverage for pregnant persons are available.

The denominator includes persons with a pregnancy during the respective season beginning before or during the specified week. The numerator includes those who received a COVID-19 vaccine after the vaccine was available for the respective season before or during pregnancy as of the specified week ending date. Pregnant persons are not removed from the numerator or denominator when the pregnancy ends. Cumulative vaccination coverage for one week may be lower than cumulative coverage for a previous week due to the addition of pregnant persons in the denominator.§Additionally, no requirements for length of enrollment in a VSD site are applied, and vaccinations given outside of a VSD site might not be included.

Weekly comparisons to previous season should take into account differences between seasons in vaccine availability dates.

Note: Data from the 2023–24 season have been archived and can be accessed using the following link: 2023-24 COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage, Pregnant Persons. Archived 2023–24 season data are based on 8 reporting sites whereas data on this dashboard include 10 reporting sites for both 2023–24 and 2024–25. Additionally, archived 2023–24 season data are based on a different methodology that only included people pregnant during each respective week. The current methodology for the 2023–24 and 2024–25 seasons uses a cumulative approach that includes all people pregnant through each given week.
