Until now, vaccine COVID-19 has been developed and shows a promising result. Unfortunately, pregnant women are consistently excluded from receiving a new vaccine. Because pregnant women are excluded from participating in a clinical trial of vaccines related to safety issues, this exclusion cycle prevents pregnant women from receiving the vaccine that may benefit them. In this review article, the author provides evidence, data, and the reason why vaccination of pregnant women should be started in Indonesia, at least in a clinical trial, especially for health workers and women with comorbidities.
