Medical Experts Continue to Assert that COVID Vaccines Do Not Impact Fertility ACOG and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) issued a joint statement recommending that the COVID vaccine be available to pregnant individuals.

On this , ACOG honors the women physicians who led the way, our members who step up every day, and tomorrow's who will provide future generations with patient-centered, compassionate, dedicated care. We are inspired by you.

ACOG and SMFM disagree with the WHO's recommendation to withhold vaccines from pregnant people who aren't at high risk of exposure. There should be no barriers preventing access or hindering pregnant individuals’ ability to protect themselves. Read ACOG's statement for more information. bit.ly/2M3LrxF

Even more children have effects of alcohol exposure in utero that don’t meet the criteria for FAS but do fall under the umbrella fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs).
