We recommend the COVID vaccination for all patients, including those who want to be pregnant, are pregnant, and women who are currently breastfeeding. We want the best for you and your family: wash your hands, wear a mask, social distance, and be vaccinated.

​

Our support of vaccination for all is based on guidance from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine, American Academy of Pediatrics, and American College of Nurse Midwives. All organizations issued a joint statement on August 9th, 2021 and their recommendations remain true today. Their guidance is based on data from tens of thousands of reporting individuals that showed COVID-19 vaccination is both safe and effective when administered during pregnancy. The same data have been equally reassuring when it comes to infants born to vaccinated individuals. Also, COVID-19 vaccines have no impact on fertility.

​

Patients planning to become pregnant and those already pregnant should feel confident in choosing vaccination to protect themselves, their infants, and their families.

​

UNC Health Nash’s COVID Walk-In Vaccine Clinic is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8am – 4pm, offering vaccine for ages 6 months and up. NO WAIT, NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED. Remember, vaccines are free and do not require insurance or a photo ID.
