MINNEAPOLIS - Women with multiple sclerosis (MS) may not be at a higher risk of pregnancy complications like gestational diabetes, emergency cesarean section or stillbirth than women who do not have the disease, according to a study in the February 3, 2021, online issue of
Neurology® Clinical Practice, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology. However, the study did find that babies born to mothers with MS had a higher chance of being delivered by elective cesarean section (c-section) or induced delivery, and being small for their age compared to babies of women who did not have the disease.
The Center for Public Representation issued the following news:
The Center, together with a broad cross section of the disability, aging, and civil rights organizations, urged the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts to take specific steps to ensure individuals at high risk of complications from COVID-19 have equitable access to the vaccines.
These recommendation include: (1) the development and distribution of accessible, plain language resources in multiple formats; (2) broadening the list of qualifying co-morbid conditions, and creating pathways to vaccination for other individuals at higher risk of severe illness and death; (3) targeting outreach and vaccination resources to communities hard hit by the virus; and (4) ensuring accessible vaccination sites and procedures for securing vaccine appointments.
