The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends that individuals at all stages of the family building process be vaccinated against COVID-19. This is consistent with guidance from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG), the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM), and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).
Pregnant individuals appear to be at particular risk for severe COVID-19 disease. The vaccines are safe and effective in preventing infection, severe disease, and death for this population.
