The Wise Woman s Guide to Your Healthiest Pregnancy and Birth. In some cases, it doesn t resolve after pregnancy, Ladis tells

After months of waiting, Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine is finally being given to people across the country starting with health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities.
While those outside of that first group won t be vaccinated for weeks or even months, it s still understandable for every person who will be eligible to get the vaccine to have questions about it specifically surrounding the ingredients that make up the jab.
