A Word from Dr. Herrmann: The Covid-19 Vaccine

*Updated 7/8/21: 

With the recent onset of the Delta Variant of Covid-19 throughout the United States, it is more important than ever to get the Vaccine to help eliminate the threat to the overall public. The longer it takes for everyone to get vaccinated, the more risk there will be to the public from the Delta Variant and any other future mutated strains of the virus. It is without a doubt that the Delta Variant is more contagious than previous strains, which poses an even greater public health risk. 

Overall, it is important for everyone to get the Covid-19 Vaccine to help fight the overall battle against this deadly virus. It is not only important to protect your own health, but also the health of everyone you come into contact with.

Over the past year, Covid-19 has taken the Public Health World by storm, infecting Millions of Americans with a virtually unknown virus. There are a lot of myths and rumors that have circulated throughout the internet, however the Medical Professionals at The Herrmann Practice are here to put your mind at ease. Read our blog to discover the implications and recommendations for the Covid-19 Vaccine for Women. 

Currently, there are many questions and concerns about Covid vaccinations and their safety. Many people are concerned that because of their rapid development, safety may have been compromised. As a Medical Professional, I have read extensively and studied the process of the development of these and other vaccines. I am confident that all vaccines approved by the FDA are safe and effective. The safety trials were the same as for all other vaccines currently on the market. In fact, research for coronavirus has been going on for over 10 years.

The overall effects of the Covid-19 Vaccine on Adult Women has shown that it is effective in protecting individuals from the Coronavirus in Clinical Trials conducted by the FDA.

Effects of Covid-19 Vaccine on Pregnant Women: 

The Covid-19 Vaccines approved by the FDA are all safe for use in pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding, however, there is still little data on this subject. 

• There are currently Clinical Trials that look at the safety and how well the COVID-19 vaccines work in pregnant people underway or planned.
• Vaccine trials in animals before or during pregnancy found no safety concerns. 
• There are new studies that show that immunity to the Covid-19 Virus may pass along to newborns if the mother has been vaccinated. 

No matter what stage of life you are in, the experts at The Herrmann Practice are here to ensure that you are living a healthy life. Vaccines have the potential to eradicate diseases as we have smallpox and nearly polio in the past. However, this will only happen if 70 to 90% of the world’s population gets vaccinated.

All vaccinations have small and possibly unknown risks and side effects. When it comes to the Covid-19 Vaccine, the trials have demonstrated that the benefits far outweigh the risk of getting Covid and possibly having long term disabilities or dying from it. Unfortunately there are always people that can’t or won’t get vaccinated. The people that can, but won’t get vaccinated, put the people that can’t get vaccinated at risk. I feel that healthy people that can get vaccinated have a moral obligation to get vaccinated, not just for themselves, but also for our more vulnerable populations.
