Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged all pregnant women to get the vaccine as hospitals in hot spots around the United States saw disturbing numbers of unvaccinated expectant mothers seriously ill with Covid-19.
According to data from the CDC, pregnant women who have not gotten the shot run a higher risk of becoming severely ill and having pregnancy complications.
‘’The vaccines are safe and effective, and it has never been more urgent to increase vaccinations as we face the highly transmissible delta variant and see severe outcomes from COVID-19 among unvaccinated pregnant people,’’ CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in a statement.
