Studies are showing that fewer pregnant women are willing to receive the COVID jab.

Though recommended by the CDC that they should receive the COVID vaccine — 2022’s numbers reveal that only 27.3% of pregnant women were administered a COVID shot. “We are meeting more resistance than I ever remember,” says Dr. Neil Silverman, maternal-fetal medicine specialist at UCLA.

The CDC is disappointed in the lack of vaccinated pregnant women, while contrarily also supporting the belief that expectant mothers must question everything that goes in their body. Dr. Melissa Simon suggests that the decrease in vaccinations may be linked to the following: “There are a lot of myths out there, what I would call blatant disinformation that is intended to be more politically charged, not based in science.”
