Supposedly, pregnant women can get the vaccine. In fact, it’s recommended due to risk of certain complications with getting covid-19 while pregnant.

FYI it’s probably low risk for pregnant women to take the mRNA vaccines. If your friend wants to be vaccinated but is uncomfortable maybe they can specifically ask their GP about it?

Also until literally today nobody under 16 could get vaccinated and we're still several months away from vaccines possibly being approved for children.

Studies show kids are less likely to catch and spread it, and when they do catch it they have less averse impacts than adults, but I'd still prefer if my kids don't catch it.
