Pregnant Women Access COVID-19 Vaccines This Fall
Reading
It is not easy for many people to get a COVID-19 vaccine this fall. Some doctors are already seeing problems with getting the vaccine. The Health Secretary said the shots are not for healthy kids and pregnant women.
The CDC said healthy kids and pregnant women 'may' get the vaccine. They used to say these groups 'should' get the vaccine. Their website now has no advice for pregnant women about the vaccine.
These changes make health experts unsure of what to do. Vaccine makers and insurance companies are also unsure about the vaccine. A doctor in Seattle told a pregnant worker to get vaccinated, but pharmacies refused.
Updated COVID-19 shots may come out later this year. The FDA might only approve these shots for older people and those at high risk. It is not clear who can get the vaccines this fall.
Insurers might still pay for the shots for some people. Some employers may also cover the vaccine cost. COVID-19 can be dangerous for pregnant women and their babies.
