DETROIT โ€“ Many people have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine as itโ€™s being rolled out to more people in Michigan. Read More: Local 4โ€ฒs Dr. Frank McGeorge answers COVID vaccine questionsโ€œDoes my beard impact my maskโ€™s effectiveness?โ€The two most important considerations about masks are filtration and fit. You donโ€™t have to shave the beard off to get a more snug mask fit, just be aware that it does impact its effectiveness. Secondly, we donโ€™t know if itโ€™s possible for vaccinated people to asymptomatically spread coronavirus. โ€œWeโ€™re buying a dog from a breeder who told us their family had COVID, is it possible for the puppy to infect us?โ€Probably not.

DETROIT โ€“ Many people have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine as itโ€™s being rolled out to more people in Michigan. Read More: Local 4โ€ฒs Dr. Frank McGeorge answers COVID vaccine questionsโ€œShould I get the vaccine if Iโ€™m pregnant or trying to conceive?โ€Unfortunately, the answer is complicated with differing opinions. There were a very small number of women in the Phase 3 vaccine trials who became pregnant after their first dose and no adverse outcomes were found. Until there is more definitive safety information, the CDC recommends people who are pregnant and eligible for the vaccine may choose to be vaccinated. It recommends pregnant people to not use an MRNA vaccine in pregnancy unless the benefit of vaccinating a pregnant woman outweighs the potential vaccine risks.

FDA extends pregnancy warning for common pain relievers

Read full article: FDA extends pregnancy warning for common pain relievers

WASHINGTON โ€“ Pregnant women should avoid a group of common pain relievers including Advil and Aleve for the last four months of pregnancy, federal health officials said Thursday, expanding the warning from three months. They can lead to kidney problems in the fetus that can result in low levels of amniotic fluid that fills the womb. In one exception, the FDA said the new warning does not apply to low-dose aspirin when recommended by a doctor. Federal regulators said they decided to extend the warning after finding 35 cases of the amniotic fluid problem reported to the FDA and reviewing similar examples in published research. Use of the pain relievers reduced amniotic fluid in as little as two days, in some cases, the FDA said.

Can a pregnant woman spread the coronavirus to her fetus?

Read full article: Can a pregnant woman spread the coronavirus to her fetus?

Can a pregnant woman spread the coronavirus to her fetus? Its possible, but it seems to be relatively rare and scientists think they know why that is. Many viruses can cross the placenta and infect a fetus in the womb, and evidence has been growing that the coronavirus sometimes can too. In another, a newborn had certain coronavirus antibodies that are unable to cross the placenta, so they could not have come from the mother. A report from France gave even stronger evidence of in-the-womb infection, and that newborn was very ill at birth.

Whether youโ€™re pregnant now or you were hoping to be in the next few months, this might feel like an overwhelming time, living through the current coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic. Time magazine recently reported that fact in an article this week about COVID-19 and how it relates to pregnant women. Yes, pregnant women are generally more susceptible to viruses, for example, the flu. Itโ€™s true that thereโ€™s limited information and published literature about exactly how susceptible pregnant women are to COVID-19, and the severity of infection. If youโ€™re pregnant or had been trying for a baby, stay in even better contact with your doctor or health care provider.
