I meet a lot of pregnant women at work.
A grand total of 0 (ZERO!) have been advised to get a COVID vaccine in pregnancy.
I would say the majority have bought into the misinformation that the vaccine is dangerous in pregnancy, which is the opposite of the truth.

Agree! I've heard shingles is wickedly painful. Let's hope that kids vaccinated against chickenpox won't ever have to experience it.
The second shot hit my husband and me horribly. We both stayed in bed with fevers the day after the shot. BUT, I would rather suffer a single day than months or years on end, and the dementia risk reduction is a big cherry on top of it!

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
