VIVA – Good news for pregnant women, because in the near future a COVID-19 vaccination will be implemented. Even so, the Indonesian Obstetrics and Gynecology Association (POGI) conveyed that there is one condition in which pregnant women should postpone vaccination.

POGI Secretary General Budi Wiweko revealed that the current delta variant of COVID-19 is more infectious, as evidenced by the exposure of hundreds of pregnant women. Not a few, obstetrics and gynecology (obstetrics) doctors who treat pregnant women with COVID-19 patients, have also been infected.

"Transmission of the delta variant is clearly higher than the previous variant from Wuhan. Close contact between pregnant women and obstetricians causes the risk of transmission, so this vaccine is the key to prevention," he said at a press conference with the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI), recently.

The Professor of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia said that the procedure for COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women had been completed. One of the conditions that should delay giving the COVID-19 vaccine is preeclampsia.

"Pregnant women who should not be vaccinated who are experiencing signs of severe preeclampsia. The others have no problems. The contraindications are exactly the same as the non-pregnant group," said Budi.

Severe preeclampsia is a condition in which the mother's blood pressure reaches 160/110 mmHg. The rest, vaccination is allowed as agreed by the Ministry of Health and the Indonesian Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (ITAGI).

"We have agreed that vaccination will be carried out immediately. We have completed the screening form for pregnant women, control cards, and what questions to ask," he said.

POGI has also coordinated with the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) regarding vaccine safety. The types of vaccines given include Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca, Sinovac, and Sinopharm.

After being vaccinated, pregnant women will continue to be monitored throughout pregnancy until delivery. Budi hopes that this circular letter on the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine for pregnant women can be implemented immediately.

"Hopefully the technical instructions will be issued soon, so that no more pregnant women are included in the exclusion criteria for vaccination. Hopefully next week there will be an SE from the ministry. We encourage them to continue," he said.
