13 Sept 07:16 Key points summarised by AI
- Chulabhorn Hospital initiates a research project to study the safety and immune response of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant women, aiming to recruit 400 volunteers.
- Eligible participants must be over 18, at least 12 weeks pregnant, free from recent fever or COVID-19 infection, and not previously inoculated with another vaccine, specifically for the Sinopharm vaccine.
- The study comprises two groups: 100 volunteers receiving their first Sinopharm dose on October 4th, and 300 volunteers receiving theirs between October 6th and 15th.
- Participants will undergo 90 days of post-vaccination monitoring, including birth outcomes and the condition of their babies, with the second group also receiving ultrasound examinations and blood tests for immune response.
- The research utilizes the Sinopharm vaccine, which the Chulabhorn Royal Academy had previously procured to help address vaccine shortages.
