If You’re Pregnant, OR Thinking About Becoming Pregnant…

Today, the CDC (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but you knew that) issued a call for “urgent action” to increase coronavirus vaccinations among people who are pregnant. They are responding to the rise in COVID deaths among pregnant women.

The CDC said it recommends coronavirus vaccines “before or during pregnancy because the benefits of vaccination outweigh known or potential risks.” It said its advice applies to “people who are pregnant, recently pregnant … who are trying to become pregnant now, or who might become pregnant in the future.”
