EPISODE 7:  Is COVID vaccine safe for pregnant women?   
There’s been a lot of concern among pregnant women on whether or not to get the COVID vaccine.  Studies are ongoing but data is still limited.  The CDC says the vaccine should be made available to pregnant women, and the World Health Organization recommends women in high risk professions should get it, such as healthcare workers.   In this episode, Monica talks to two Cleveland Clinic Doctors.  Dr. Tosin Goje is an OB/GYN and infectious disease specialist and Dr. Carli Lehr is a pulmonologist specializing in lung transplantation.  Dr. Lehr received the vaccine back in December while she was pregnant.  She just delivered a healthy baby boy.  She explains why she chose to vaccinate.
