Two pediatricians based in Boca Raton, Dr. Paul Gilbert and Dr. Chad Rudnick, have published a ?pre-print? of the first case believed to be reported in the world of a baby born with antibodies to COVID-19.
?After the vaccine came out, we started looking for people who might be pregnant, who were eligible to get it,? said Gilbert. ?We saw the recommendations changed pretty quickly to allow pregnant women to get the vaccine.
Gilbert and Rudnick wrote up a case report, saying a pregnant woman received a single dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. They said three weeks later, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl, who they claim had antibodies against COVID.
... The two doctors said because of what they know about antibody transmission to a fetus during pregnancy, this was expected.
?We were very excited to see once the test result came back, that the antibodies from the mom?s vaccine did in fact pass through the plancenta to the newborn,? he said.

Abstract
Background Maternal vaccination for Influenza and TDaP have been well studied in terms of safety and efficacy for protection of the newborn by placental passage of antibodies. Similar newborn protection would be expected after maternal vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19). There is a significant and urgent need for research regarding safety and efficacy of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy. Here, we report the first known case of an infant with SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies detectable in cord blood after maternal vaccination.
Case presentation A vigorous, healthy, full-term female was born to a COVID-19 na?ve mother who had received a single dose of mRNA vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 three weeks prior to delivery. Cord blood antibodies (IgG) were detected to the S-protein of SARS-CoV-2 at time of delivery.
Conclusion Here, we report the first known case of an infant with SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies detectable in cord blood after maternal vaccination.
