Physicians at Ochsner Health are working to dispel common myths and misinformation about COVID vaccines, especially among women of childbearing age. Ochsner Baptist OBGYN Dr. Jane Martin, who was vaccinated for COVID during her own pregnancy said we have even more data now that the vaccines are safe.
“The COVID vaccine does not increase a women’s risk of infertility, it does not increase women’s risk of miscarriage, of birth defects, or of any bad pregnancy outcomes,” said Martin.
Martin said vaccine hesitancy is understandable and especially last year when we didn’t have as much data as we do now. Martin said her personal decision to be vaccinated while pregnant was easy after seeing many pregnant women hospitalized with COVID and data confirming their increased risk.

The latest answers to your vaccine questions from Dr. Jen Ashton.Courtesy Maria Garza
A Texas mother gave birth to her son in the same hospital where her husband died after contracting COVID-19.
In February, while Maria Garza was pregnant with their second child, her husband Jason was diagnosed with COVID-19. Four months later, Jason died as a result of the virus before he was able to meet his son.
On July 19, Garza gave birth to a baby boy, who shares his father s name. Going back into a hospital setting, and the nurses wearing the same uniforms and the gowns being the same color pattern and everything was jarring, said Garza, whose mom was by her side for the labor and delivery in place of Jason. But with the support of my family and my mom was there with me and I held his memories close to my heart. (Giving birth) definitely (was) a bittersweet moment.
