Doctor Says Her Newborn Has COVID Antibodies As She Took Vaccine During Pregnancy
A doctor's post on social media platform Twitter has gone viral ever since she tweeted about her newborn having COVID antibodies. Yes, you read that right!
Dr. Prerna Shrestha, currently practicing in?Stony Brook Department of Neurobiology & Behavior in New York took to Twitter to share news about her baby having developed antibodies against the virus that has gripped the entire world for the past one year.
Her tweet read, "In other news, found out yesterday that my newborn has antibodies for the COVID spike protein because I got vaccinated during my pregnancy. Science ROCKS!"
In a series of tweets, she wrote, "To answer some Qs: 1) I received 2 doses of Pfizer vaccine in my 3rd trimester (Feb/Mar). 2) This was after NYS included pregnancy as an eligible health condition to receive COVID19 vaccine. 3) I never got COVID and got tested biweekly for work so the ABs are due to the vaccine."
She further shared a link which led to?at least four studies corroborating her experience.?
?Many on social media thanked her, while some thought it's not just a wonder of science.
However, experts in India say that there is data for Pfizer. So in USA, it is recommended. But, we don't have similar data for Covishield or Covaxin in Pregnancy. So not recommended in India just yet.
