US EditionCOVID vaccine ‘strongly recommended’ during pregnancy, Canadian doctors say
- On Wednesday, Canada’s leading obstetrics and gynecology organization emphasized the strong recommendation for COVID-19 vaccination among pregnant and breastfeeding individuals.
- This statement was released in response to a recent announcement by the U.S. Official responsible for health, who, despite lacking medical support, advised that COVID-19 vaccines are unnecessary for healthy pregnant individuals and children.
- The Canadian group emphasized that pregnant women infected with COVID-19 face higher risks of severe illness, hospitalization, and complications including preterm birth compared to nonpregnant women.
- Dr. Darine El-Chaar emphasized that growing research highlights the risks that COVID-19 and similar respiratory illnesses pose to individuals during pregnancy, and confirmed that receiving the vaccine helps to mitigate these risks. She also pointed out that no research to date has demonstrated harmful effects of COVID-19 vaccination on either pregnant individuals or their babies.
- The SOGC urged reliance on evidence-based science amid growing misinformation, warning that vaccine decisions ignoring expert advice could cause long-term health implications for families and health workers.
