Pregnant moms’ SARS-CoV-2 antibodies pass to newborns – Futurity: Research News
Mothers who have had COVID-19, or asymptomatic exposure to SARS-CoV-2, may be able to provide some protection against the virus to their newborns.
Antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in the blood of pregnant women cross the placenta efficiently and are found at similar concentrations in the blood of their newborns, according to a new study.

The authors of the new paper in JAMA Pediatrics hypothesize this may have implications for COVID-19 vaccines.
