Fewer pregnant women are getting influenza and other vaccines this year.

Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as some doctors, say that fewer pregnant women are getting influenza and other vaccines this year.

A recent CDC report found that among 2,000 women who were pregnant during last year's cold and influenza season, as the survey was carried out in March and April, about a quarter of them were "very hesitant" about getting a flu vaccine. A year before that, some 17.2 percent were very hesitant to receive the shot.

The CDC study also found that 47.2 percent of expectant mothers received influenza vaccines last year, which is down from 57.5 percent who got them during the 2019-2020 season---before the COVID-19 pandemic and mass vaccination campaigns.

One doctor, Denise Jamieson, vice president for medical affairs at the University of Iowa Health Care, told NBC News this week, "The number of women vaccinated for COVID is disappointing," in response to the CDC's data.

"We are meeting more resistance than I ever remember," Dr. Neil Silverman, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at UCLA Health, told NBC. "We didn't get this kind of pushback on this scale before the pandemic."

He said that "now all vaccines are lumped together as 'bad.'"

Some are...

VA study published in JAMA shows that COVID *and* flu shots don't reduce your risk of hospitalization Of course, the study was designed to show a different effect. But it "accidentally" revealed that the COVID and flu shots don't reduce your risk of hospitalization from the virus they are designed for

And that surprises you? The flu shots are always hit or miss. The authorities guess which three strains they believe will be dominant during the next flu season. Sometimes they are correct and sometimes they are wrong. In a year when they guessed wrong the flu shots are nearly worthless and occasionally less than worthless.
