 Research published in the British Medical Journal finds babies born to women vaccinated for COVID in their first trimester did not have an increased risk of birth defects. Researchers say the new study found birth defects that did occur were not linked to women who were infected with the COVID virus in their first three months of pregnancy. Researchers say the study supports the benefits. Getting vaccinated outweigh the risks for both mother and baby. It comes as COVID cases are on the rise nationwide. Michelle Franzen, ABC News.
