Since pregnant women were excluded from clinical trials for vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there is limited data on the safety and efficacy of vaccines in this population. This systematic review explored the safety and efficacy of mRNA vaccines in pregnant women. A literature search was performed using Ovid databases through November 2021 for all studies evaluated efficacy and safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in pregnant women. A total of five studies including 42,782 women were included in the systematic review. Humoral immunity to COVID-19 was detected in pregnant women who received the vaccine and no differences found in spike-specific T-cell responses. Incidence of high-grade chronic villitis is higher in the unvaccinated group with adjusted odds ratio of .31 (.1-.97), P < .05. Vaccination in pregnant women resulted in 12.6% spontaneous abortions (SAB) with 92.3% occurring in the first trimester, .1% stillbirth (
