COVID Vax Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Pre-Pregnancy

Are you pregnant, thinking of becoming pregnant, or breastfeeding? Do you have fact-based information to make an informed decision about the COVID vaccine? We’d like to provide you with scientifically-based information so that you can truly make an informed decision about the vaccine. Aligned with CDC and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommendations, we strongly encourage pregnant women, women who are thinking of becoming pregnant, and lactating women to get vaccinated against COVID-19. More information about the COVID vaccine and pregnancy from the CDC can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/pregnancy.html

Also as you may know, the CDC and FDA have recently approved a 3^rd dose of the Pfizer vaccine for people who have previously received a Pfizer COVID vaccine and are in a high-risk group. The full list of high-risk groups can be found on the CDC website; it includes people who are pregnant and postpartum. The Pfizer booster is recommended 6 months after the 2nd vaccine was received. It is not known at this time if a booster is needed for people who have received the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine. Information about receiving a Pfizer booster can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html   

If you have ANY questions at all about the COVID vaccine or specific concerns about receiving it, please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information (413-794-8484).
