Pregnant women with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infections were likely to be older, whiter and more educated as the pandemic unfolded, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday.
The CDC analyzed federal data linked to birth certificates issued in 14 states and the District of Columbia from July 2020 to June 2022. According to the report, the share of those pregnant ages 30 and older with COVID increased from 38.4% in the third quarter of 2020 to 48.9% in the second quarter of last year.
White moms replaced Hispanic moms as the majority of those infected, surging from 25.1% of them to 58.2% during the study period. “Different variants and changing prevalence of COVID may have contributed to the trends shown,” CDC statistician Michelle Osterman, a co-author of the report, told The Washington Times. “However, this dataset does not include other related factors that may have contributed to these trends.”
