Some new things you may find useful.
First, a meta analysis of excess caesarean births in women with COVID, which concluded that vaginal delivery was not associated with worse neonatal or maternal outcomes when compared with caesarean delivery, and that the decision to pursue a caesarean delivery should not be based on COVID status.
Thanks to the Healthcare Information for All email forum for that one, and they thank the Maternal Health Task Force, a venture based at Harvard which works to end preventable maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Then, a report in BioTechniques of a study that found that COVID antibodies pass from vaccinated mothers to their babies through breastfeeding. The study is here.
Last of all, a study of the immunogenicity of pneumococcal vaccines administered postpartum or during pregnancy to women with HIV. Thanks to McMaster's Evidence Alert for that one.
