The CDCgov Now Recommends Pregnant People Get the COVID19 Vaccine:
“At this time, the benefits of vaccination, and the known risks of Covid during pregnancy and the high rates of transmission right now, outweigh any theoretical risks of the vaccine,” Sascha R. Ellington, an epidemiologist at the CDC,With a new surge of COVID-19 cases due to the Delta variant, many states are reinstating mask mandates nationwide and experts are urging everyone to get vaccinated.
On July 30, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine their own official recommendation that pregnant people receive the COVID-19 due to growing evidence proving the vaccine to be safe and effective. Prior to the announcement, the ACOG had similarly maintained that pregnant people should have access to the vaccine, but discuss the decision with their healthcare provider.
The new ACOG and CDC recommendation comes amidst reports that the resurgence in hospitalization cases primarily affects those who have not yet been vaccinated. Both organizations are urging any pregnant people who were considering waiting until after birth to get their COVID-19 vaccine sooner rather than later.
“ACOG encourages its members to enthusiastically recommend vaccination to their patients. This means emphasizing the known safety of the vaccines and the increased risk of severe complications associated with COVID-19 infection, including death, during pregnancy,” J. Martin Tucker, MD, FACOG, president of ACOG, said on July 30.
“ACOG is recommending vaccination of pregnant individuals because we have evidence of the safe and effective use of the vaccine during pregnancy from many tens of thousands of reporting individuals, because we know that COVID-19 infection puts pregnant people at increased risk of severe complications, and because it is clear from the current vaccination rates that people need to feel confident in the safety and protective value of the COVID-19 vaccines,” he added.
