Background and Objectives: Considering that the data related to the effects of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines such as Sinopharm is limited in low-income countries, this study aimed to investigate pregnancy complications and maternal and fetal outcomes in Iranian women with or without a history of Sinopharm vaccine administration for COVID-19.
Methods: This is a historical cohort study that was conducted on 500 vaccinated and non-vaccinated pregnant women referred to Imam Ali Hospital in Amol city, north of Iran, from July 2021 to June 2022. They were divided into two groups (250 vaccinated and 250 unvaccinated). The data were collected from their medical files. 
Results: Pregnancy complications such as abortion (P=0.25), preterm delivery (P=0.69), premature rupture before labor (P=0.5), and meconium excretion (P=0.38) were not significantly different between the two groups. Maternal and fetal outcomes such as gestational age (P=0.27), type of delivery (P=0.6), fetal distress (P=0.3), neonatal respiratory distress (P=0.13), hospitalization in the neonatal unit (P=0.36), transfer to NICU (P=0.5), and congenital anomaly (P=0.5) were not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusion: Vaccination with Sinopharm against COVID-19 is not associated with pregnancy complications or adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.
