Vaccines minister to ask MPs who recently had babies for advice on encouraging pregnant women to get Covid jab
19.01.2022 - 00:10 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The vaccines minister will seek advice from MPs who had children during the pandemic on how to encourage pregnant women to get the Covid jab.
There have been repeated calls for pregnant women to get vaccinated as more data has emerged showing the vaccine to be safe.
The Department of Health and Social Care last week cited statistics from the UK Obstetric Surveillance System which it said showed 96.3% of pregnant women admitted to hospital with Covid-19 symptoms between May and October were unvaccinated, a third of whom required respiratory support.
Vaccines minister Maggie Throup said she had visited a neonatal unit to speak to parents about their choices.
“We’ve seen far too many pregnant women who have ended up in intensive care because they haven’t been vaccinated,” she told the M.E.N during a visit to the Vaccination Centre at the Etihad Tennis Centre, on Monday (January 17).
“I did visit an antenatal unit to find out more about this and to hear the process that went through not just the mother’s head but the father’s head as well and it’s quite interesting,” she said.
Mrs Throup said she also plans to hold a roundtable discussion with MPs who had babies during the pandemic.
“There’s quite a lot of MPs, mums and dads, who have become parents throughout the pandemic,” she said.
“I’m going to pull together a roundtable for me to help understand more of those decisions and how parents make them and work with the professionals to get that message out.
“It’s been really clear that when pregnant women or those looking to get pregnant have a conversation with healthcare professionals they have a better understanding that it’s the best way to protect themselves and their baby to get vaccinated.”

Clapton has since become outspoken about his anti-vaccination stance. He claimed that he’d been duped into getting the COVID-19 jab by subliminal messaging in pharmaceutical advertising — and urged others not to fall for it.“Whatever the memo was, it hadn’t reached me,” he said, referring to the “mass formation hypnosis” conspiracy theory, which gained traction in 2021 as part of anti-vaccine propaganda.
