Women vaccinated in the first trimester and their unexposed matches had a mean follow-up of 6.3 months; for women vaccinated at 20 weeks or greater and their unexposed matches, mean follow-up was 2.4 months; for women vaccinated in any trimester and their unexposed matches, mean follow-up was 4.1 months.
