Pregnant people should get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday, warning of the possibility of "severe outcomes'' for those who don't and pointing out there's no evidence of increased chance of miscarriage for those who get immunized. The recommendation comes as the U.S. is experiencing another spike in coronavirus infections and daily cases nationwide are surging past 100,000. "Pregnant and recently pregnant people are more likely to get severely ill with COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant people,'' the CDC says on its website. "Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can protect you from severe illness from COVID-19.'' The expectant run a higher risk of serious illness and pregnancy complications from the coronavirus, including miscarriages and stillbirths. But their vaccination rates are low: Only about 23% have received at least one dose, according to CDC data.
