Vaccines for COVID-19 became available in late 2020, and were immediately followed by a rash of myths and misinformation online. Many of the most pervasive myths – that the vaccine causes infertility, that it’s unsafe for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, that it can cause miscarriage – are specifically focused on women’s health and reproductive health.
Dr. Michael Beninati joins this episode of the Women’s Healthcast to put a stop to some of the most dangerous misinformation, and talk about the research that shows why these myths just aren’t true.
Some of the resources Dr. Beninati mentions for up-to-date and accurate COVID-19 and vaccine information:
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine
American Society for Reproductive Medicine
U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
