What expectant mothers need to know about the COVID-19 vaccine
A vital part of staying healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic is staying informed. As an expectant or new mother, you may have even more questions and concerns about whether to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Anthony Sanders, OB/GYN for Community Health Network joined us today to address some of these questions and concerns.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if you are pregnant, you can receive a COVID-19 vaccine. There is currently no evidence that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems. However, data are limited about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for people who are pregnant. CDC established the v-safe COVID-19 Vaccine Pregnancy Registry to learn more about this issue.
Dr. Ram Yeleti, the Community Health Network’s chief physician executive, answers the question, “Is it safe to get the COVID-19 vaccine if I’m pregnant” in the latest episode of ‘A Shot of Truth’, a series about the COVID-19 vaccine found on the Network’s social channels.
Community Health Network also has information to help you know more about the COVID-19 vaccine and pregnant women. Please visit the Community Health Network website for information about COVID-19, the COVID-19 vaccine, and frequently asked questions.
