Sohail Rao, M.D., MA, DPhil, CEO of DHR Health Institute of Research and Development, and Efraim Vela, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of DHR Health Women’s Hospital have concluded that based on the available data that is supported by observations in our high-volume Women’s Hospital – a Level IV Maternal Facility, pregnant women are more susceptible to SARS- CoV-2 infection and getting a COVID-19 vaccine can protect them from severe illness. 

Additionally, after reviewing all the available scientific data, we have also determined that the available COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risk. We therefore recommend that all pregnant women, those trying to get pregnant and/or breast feeding should seriously consider getting vaccinated.​
