The NHS excluded pregnant women but we are sharing with pregnant women the recommendation by ACOG and encouraging them to have other discussions with their own provider.
ACOG current recommendations reads:
•ACOG recommends that COVID-19 vaccines should not be withheld from pregnant individuals who meet criteria for vaccination based on ACIP-recommended priority groups.
•COVID-19 vaccines should be offered to lactating individuals similar to non-lactating individuals when they meet criteria for receipt of the vaccine based on prioritization
groups outlined by the ACIP.

I am not sure the vaccine is approved for pregnant women. Some of the questions are whether or not they are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, as they did not
do test trials on that group

Hi Dr. Fanucchi,
Thank you for the form!
A question: what would be your recommendations for vaccinations of employees who answer "yes" to the screening questions?
Which ones of these questions would be "hard stops" against receiving the vaccine (for example, allergies)?
Are you all vaccinating special groups at this time: pregnant employees, employees of immunocompromised employees, etc?
Thanks,
Abhijay

Same here. Usual process for vaccination with no special consent form required.
Good afternoon Melanie,
Just FYI ... several of our MediTrax customers requested that we make a questionnaire/consent form available.
This [linkprotect.cudasvc.com] is what we provide (and each facility has the option to modify the questions).
