Children born to vaccinated mothers showed equivalent neurodevelopmental outcomes compared to those born to unvaccinated mothers.
The study involved 271 exposed and 240 unexposed mothers, with matching on key characteristics in 217 pairs.
The primary outcome showed a median difference of -3.4 points in neurodevelopmental scores, within the prespecified equivalence margin.
Secondary outcomes indicated no significant differences in various validated assessment tools between the two groups.
The findings provide reassurance regarding the safety of mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination during pregnancy.
