Federal and local health officials say pregnant women should have the choice if they would like to be vaccinated for COVID-19 when a vaccine is available to them.
While more research is needed to determine potential effects of Pfizer and BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine on pregnant and breastfeeding individuals, health experts say there isn’t any known increased risk from the vaccine compared to non-pregnant individuals.
CADILLAC â Two of Spectrum Healthcare s employees spoke today about being among the first Michiganders to receive Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine.
In a call with reporters, Spectrum President and CEO Tina Freese Decker announced that the healthcare administration had administered its first doses at 12:04 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 14.
Front-line and nursing home workers are in the first phase of the vaccine roll-out.
Dr. Marc McClelland, a pulmonologist who has been caring for COVID-19 patients, said he feels fine and that his arm is not sore.
Yvette Kamana, an ICU nurse, said she had initially been skeptical about the vaccine but has become more optimistic and volunteered to be among the first to be vaccinated.
