The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends urgent action to increase COVID-19 vaccination among people who are pregnant, recently pregnant (including those who are lactating), who are trying to become pregnant now, or who might become pregnant in the future. CDC strongly recommends COVID-19 vaccination either before or during pregnancy because the benefits of vaccination outweigh known or potential risks.
We need your help in educating your patients on the benefits
of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, and offering the vaccine in
your clinic or referring to a local vaccine resource. You are a
trusted resource for your patients and your assistance will help
improve the outcomes for pregnant patients and residents of LA
County.
