No, the COVID-19 vaccines do not cause infertility in women, nor do they cause complications during birth or increase the chances of a miscarriage.

With that, Dr. Angela Langer, an obstetrician-gynecologist physician with Freeman Health System, addressed some of the greatest concerns she fields from expectant mothers.

“There’s a lot of misinformation out there … it is untrue and unfounded,” she said, during a Wednesday morning briefing addressing the vaccines and pregnancies. Vaccines, she said, have a proven safety record of eradicating the disease, and the COVID-19 vaccine should be offered to women during pregnancy and the postpartum periods as well as when breastfeeding.

"As a Native midwife, I consider the journey and transitions that patients go through throughout the lifespan as ceremony. These times are pivotal moments that should incorporate whole physical, mental, and spiritual wellness, education, communication, shared decision making, healing, and growth. These moments also should include family as much or as little as the person wants.
Being able to support patients in this way is one of the many favorite things I enjoy about being a midwife."
