Key Takeaways A baby has been born in South Florida with COVID-19 antibodies after her mother got the vaccine in her third trimester of pregnancy. The antibodies were present in samples taken from the newborn's umbilical cord blood. Doctors hope the antibodies will help to protect the baby against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. More research is needed to determine how long the protection might last.
