Can I receive the COVID vaccine if I am in the first trimester of pregnancy?

It is generally safe to receive the COVID vaccine during the first trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant women are at a higher risk of complications from COVID-19, so it is recommended not to delay vaccination. The benefits of getting vaccinated outweigh the risks. Additionally, most health authorities advise not to delay the administration of the second dose. However, the specific risks between each trimester have not been established due to a lack of data.
