The World Health Organization on Friday changed its advice for pregnant women considering a Covid-19 vaccine, abandoning language opposing immunization for most expectant mothers unless they were at high risk.
The new wording followed an outcry to the W.H.O.’s guidance for pregnant women. It still “recommends not to use” the vaccines for pregnant women unless the women are at high risk because of potential exposures or underlying health conditions.
Several experts had expressed disappointment on Thursday with the W.H.O.’s position. The experts noted that it was inconsistent with guidance on the same issue from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and would confuse pregnant women looking for clear advice.
HELENA (AP) — Four new proposed abortion restrictions passed the state House Tuesday in Montana, one of several states where GOP gains are lending more momentum to prohibitions on the
The New Mexico State Capitol, or Roundhouse Wikicommons.
The House Health and Human Services Committee approved a bill that would decriminalize abortion by a vote of 8 to 3, including one Republican who crossed the aisle.
State House Rep. Phelps Anderson, a Republican from Roswell, sided with the seven Democrats on the committee who voted yes to HB 7. Just before the bill went to vote, Anderson expressed some of his views.
“Many people who have spoken to me have expressed strong opinions but I find myself saying I’m not sure one voting yes or no changes anything that is very important to me and, secondly, the issues that have been raised are not encompassed within this bill,” Anderson said.

Now that COVID-19 vaccines are rolling out, expectant mothers have many questions about the benefits and possible risks involved in receiving the vaccine. When federal regulators approved the first two COVID-19 vaccines, they gave pregnant women the option to decide whether to get immunized.
If youâre pregnant, the best thing is to get more information so you can evaluate the risks and benefits of getting or not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Some women are worried because there is not a lot of data about pregnant women and the type of vaccine being used for the COVID-19 vaccine.
