Dr. Gladys "Sandy" Ramos is a maternal fetal medicine specialist who cares for women with high-risk pregnancies. In this video, she explains why she recommends that pregnant women get the COVID-19 vaccine.
She says the vaccine lowers the risk of severe COVID-19 infection and needing to be hospitalized. The vaccine likely protects the baby as well from infection early on.
