“In the face of misinformation and vaccine hesitancy, a strong, evidence-based recommendation in support of vaccination from a trusted clinician can go a long way toward encouraging our patients to protect themselves and their pregnancies,” said Sandra E. Brooks, MD, MBA, FACOG, chief executive officer of American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

At Mayfair, we agree that protecting mom helps to protect your unborn baby!

Today, ACOG released updated clinical guidance regarding vaccination during pregnancy against COVID-19, influenza, and RSV. The updated recommendations support vaccination and are consistent with ACOG’s previous recommendations.
In the face of vaccine hesitancy and misinformation, the new guidance documents also reflect a large and growing body of research and data regarding the safety and benefits of maternal immunization. Read the press release: https://bit.ly/4fY7oaU

All vaccines contain antigens that help the body create the immune response needed to protect against an infection. Did you know that kids are exposed to 2,000 - 6,000 antigens every day just by playing on the playground or riding public transit? That’s way more than the number of antigens in any combination of vaccines on the current schedule!
