ACOG to issue alternative maternal vaccine recommendations

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists will release recommendations on COVID-19 vaccine and other maternal immunizations in collaboration with the Vaccine Integrity Project. The ACOG says the move recognizes “the importance of unbiased, evidence-based guidance about maternal vaccination for respiratory conditions” and follows a Health and Human Services Department decision to end its recommendation that pregnant women receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The ACOG will publish recommendations for the COVID-19 vaccine, along with other maternal immunizations, at the end of the summer.
