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 Have a suggestion for a future episode?
