According to Professor Roman Shmakov, chief freelance obstetrics specialist at the Russian Ministry of Health, maternal mortality from covid has tripled in Russia this year compared to the previous year. All women who died were not vaccinated against COVID-19.

According to Shmakov, studies show that coronavirus vaccines do not increase the risk of obstetric or perinatal complications. However, in the absence of vaccination, there is an increase in the number of complications during pregnancy, delayed fetal development, frequency of premature births, and spontaneous miscarriages among those infected.
