COVID-19 vaccine endorsed for pregnant women

In the past three weeks the American Congress of Obstetricians and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine have endorsed the vaccine for expectant mothers.

“This is an important recommendation since we now know that contracting COVID-19 during pregnancy increases the risk of severe life-threatening complications to both the mother and fetus. This is really compelling support for getting vaccinated if you are unvaccinated and pregnant,’’ said Dr. Richard Leach, the chair of Women’s Health Services for Henry Ford Health System.
