Early findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine show the possible side effects of covid-19 vaccines in pregnant women were similar to those for all women.
The first published results were released last week.
Of the 35,691 participants ages 16 to 54 at all stages of pregnancy injection-site pain was reported more frequently among pregnant women than those were not. But the study found that some symptoms headache, myalgia (muscle pain), chills, and fever were reported less frequently among those who were pregnant.
You can get the abortion pill by mail for now, the FDA ruled. But it’s still an ongoing legal battle.

Last week, Jamie Phifer, a Seattle-based family physician, did something she has done regularly for the past decade: She had an appointment with a patient seeking an abortion.
But this appointment was different from many of the others that came before, because it was virtual. The woman was in another state, sitting in her car in her driveway, while her kids were inside on virtual school, Phifer said. The two spoke by video call.
Gianforte voiced his support for HB 136 during his State of the State Address in January. We must protect the lives of our most vulnerable: unborn children. I firmly believe all life is precious and must be protected, he said. I urge the legislature to send me the Montana Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which protects unborn babies by prohibiting abortion when they can feel pain. I also urge the legislature to send me the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, which requires doctors to perform life-saving care on a baby who’s born as a result of a botched abortion.
