CDC Recommends COVID-19 Vaccine For ‘Pregnant People’ Based On ‘New Evidence’

On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) presented new evidence which the federal agency believes strengthens its recommendation that “pregnant people” should be vaccinated against COVID-19.

“With vaccination rates low among pregnant women, the new guidance officially moves the CDC off its previously neutral stance on whether immunization is safe for them,” noted The Washington Post. “It comes two days after more than 20 health organizations urged vaccinations for pregnant women, those who have recently been pregnant and those who plan to become pregnant.”
