CoVid Vaccination Protects Against Omicron During Pregnancy
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/vbnUSpg07wc
Complete CoVid vaccination plus a booster reduces the chance that a pregnant woman will develop a moderate to severe Omicron infection 3.5-fold. This study by the UK’s National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit reviewed the cases of 3699 women admitted to 94 British hospitals with test positive Omicron.
Even more striking was the fact that 76.7% of symptomatic women admitted to the ICU for respiratory care including ventilator therapy were unvaccinated. In contrast, NONE of the CoVid ICU patients had received 3 doses of the vaccine.
If you’re pregnant or planning to be, better get vaccinated and keep your booster status up to date. That means, if its more than 5 months since your last booster or if you are immunosuppressed, diabetic, or fighting disease such as cancer, immediately get your Omicron booster.
