The first known case of a baby born with COVID-19 antibodies after the mother received a vaccine several weeks before giving birth has been reported in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Two pediatricians based in Boca Raton, Fla., detailed the findings in a pre-print case report this month which has yet to be peer-reviewed.

The doctors say a frontline health care worker who was 36 weeks pregnant received her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in January.

She gave birth to a healthy baby girl three weeks later and researchers obtained a blood sample from the baby’s cord to look for antibodies to determine if they were passed from the mom to the baby, something that occurs with other vaccines given during pregnancy as well. Researchers note the woman received the second dose after giving birth in accordance with the 28-day vaccination timeline.
