If you are pregnant, you deserve more information on COVID-19 vaccine safety
As pregnant women ourselves, we aren’t taking the decision lightly. We’ve looked at available data, asked questions and received mixed messages.
While the Biden administration is turning to COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the name of helping people, Americans would be better off with more data to make the right decisions for themselves and their families.
Take those who are pregnant. As of Sept. 25, a third of the pregnant population ages 18-49 was fully vaccinated (32%), according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, 10.7% were fully vaccinated prior to pregnancy, while only 18.9% chose to get fully vaccinated while pregnant.
Compare this with the two-thirds of the general population at least 18 years old who are fully vaccinated.
