ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

The expertise of HHS staff is critical to the health and safety of every person in the U.S. Their work ensures access to care, powers lifesaving research, and safeguards public health. The termination of thousands of employees is a devastating blow to our health care infrastructure. buff.ly/UNxD4RT
