CityTV News Vaccine in Pregnancy Interview. They ran most of my interview.

https://toronto.citynews.ca/.../obgyns-warn-against.../

Since the TV interviews for CBC and CityTV, I spent yesterday doing 13 interviews from Charlottetown to Victoria to the Yukon & NW Territories for CBC Syndicated Radio, Global News Radio Ottawa on the Kelly Cutera Show, City News Radio in Ottawa yesterday, and Global News Radio London this morning. So far the feedback has been positive. Many hospitals that have declined to vaccinate their pregnant and lactating physicians and staff have now changed the official policies to allow front-line pregnant women access to the vaccine if they want it. The MOH CMOH office has been slow to change their guideline, but unofficially a member of the Vaccine Task Force indicated on Twitter that they have changed the guideline to allow pregnant, lactating and immune compromised individuals access to the vaccine. All in all, the public pressure was significant, and we had direct impact on the MOH. A good day!

Ontario OBGYN's are warning against concerning messaging surrounding pregnant women and the COVID-19 vaccine. Melissa Nakhavoly speaks to one doctor who says the risks COVID-19 poses to pregnant women are far greater than any reaction that may arise from getting the shot

On Tuesday, the Ontario Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology urged Ontario officials to "immediately allow equitable access for at-risk pregnant and lactating pe...
