New Data for mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines for Pregnant Women

August is national breastfeeding month and the CDC recommends women who are breastfeeding get an mRNA (Pfizer or Moderna) COVID-19 vaccination. Pregnant individuals are more likely to get severely ill with COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant people; getting a COVID-19 vaccine is the best protection from severe illness. New data found no increase in the risk for miscarriage among people who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Early data suggest receiving an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy reduces the risk for infection and helps mothers build antibodies that may protect their baby.

Fraud Alert: COVID-19 Scams

COVID-19 fraud is rapidly evolving. This page is frequently updated.

Last updated: August 9, 2021

Protect Yourself

Do not buy fake vaccine cards, do not make your own vaccine cards,
and do not fill-in blank vaccination record cards with false information.
The the unauthorized use of an official government agency’s logo or seal is a crime.
As volunteers go door-to-door to inform communities across the country about COVID-19 vaccines,
be sure to protect yourself from criminals who are seeking to commit fraud.
Do not provide personal, medical, or financial details to anyone in exchange for vaccine information,
and obtain vaccinations from trusted providers.
Offers to purchase COVID-19 vaccination cards are scams. Valid proof of COVID-19 vaccination can
only be provided to individuals by legitimate providers administering vaccines.
Be cautious of COVID-19 survey scams. Do not give your personal, medical, or financial information
to anyone claiming to offer money or gifts in exchange for your participation in a COVID-19 vaccine survey.
Be mindful of how you dispose of COVID-19 materials such as syringes, vials, vial container boxes,
vaccination record cards, and shipment or tracking records.
Improper disposal of these items could be used by bad actors to commit fraud.
Photos of COVID-19 vaccination cards should not be shared on social media. Posting content that
includes your date of birth, health care details or other personally identifiable information can be used to steal your identity.
Beneficiaries should be cautious of unsolicited requests for their personal, medical, and financial information.
Medicare will not call beneficiaries to offer COVID-19 related products, services, or benefit review.
Be suspicious of any unexpected calls or visitors offering COVID-19 tests or supplies.
If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately.
Do not respond to, or open hyperlinks in, text messages about COVID-19 from unknown individuals.
Ignore offers or advertisements for COVID-19 testing or treatments on social media sites.
If you make an appointment for a COVID-19 test online, make sure the location is an official testing site.
Do not give your personal or financial information to anyone claiming to offer HHS grants related to COVID-19.
Be aware of scammers pretending to be COVID-19 contact tracers.
Legitimate contact tracers will never ask for your Medicare number, financial information,
or attempt to set up a COVID-19 test for you and collect payment information for the test.
If you suspect COVID-19 health care fraud, report it immediately online or call 800-HHS-TIPS (800-447-8477).
