'Some of these patients are at a higher risk of pre-term delivery, among other pregnancy complications, when they have COVID in pregnancy,' Dr. Jane Martin said.

Dr. Jane Martin calls her decision to get vaccinated against COVID-19 while pregnant an"easy" one after she treated other expecting mothers in the intensive care unit for coronavirus during the pandemic.

"There was also a report published by the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] in November that showed that pregnant women are at a much higher risk of being admitted to the hospital, being intubated, being put in the ICU and, unfortunately, dying from COVID when compared to non-pregnant women who are the same age," she added."That information really helped me make my decision.

"We've had many patients admitted to the hospital requiring supplemental oxygen. We've had many patients in the ICU and, unfortunately, many patients that have been intubated and have required mechanical ventilation for a long period of time," she toldShe explained that needing those types of care not only affect expecting moms, but it could also potentially have an impact on their unborn babies.

New studies are indicating that expecting moms who get vaccinated can pass on the protective antibodies to their new babies through the placenta as well as breast milk.

Florida's unexpected COVID-19 Delta surge could be prolonged: Infection expertFlorida health officials said that while they expected an uptick in coronavirus metrics over the summer, none predicted the Delta surge to be as significant as it has been across the state. Changes in the death rate is all that matters. All else is political propaganda. Delta was significant in india and uk and now in decline. Read article in ny times about it today. Cases arent deaths. Why get vaccine if you can still catch/spread it and have to follow same vaccine mandates as un vaccinated? Im never getting it.

Biden announces Covid-19 vaccine incentives, mandates for federal workersPresident Biden announced new Covid-19 vaccine incentives including encouraging states to use federal funds to award unvaccinated people $100 if they get the vaccine. He also announced new Covid-19 vaccine mandates for federal workers and contractors and urged other workplaces to follow suit. Baby steps. There's so much more you could do POTUS. Ask major corporations to require vaccinations for their employees and customers. Make it mandatory for the military. Ask governors to do their part. Good deal means if you are family of 3 kids will get $500 not bad At least he is trying to get through to the dumb people
