Given the scale of the Covid-19 pandemic and to avoid further human costs,
a public health obligation exists to include pregnant women in therapeutic
and vaccine trials for appropriate prevention and care...The exclusion of
pregnant and lactating women from clinical trials, and subsequently from
policymaking is not just a result of logistical limitations, it is
indicative of systemic gender blindness among the scientific community and
inadequate attention paid to ethics and reproductive rights. After all, the
challenges neither were, nor are, insurmountable.
