Dr. Adamson and I discuss the latest updates on Fertility in the February 2021 issue of ObGyn Management MdEdge ObGyn 1. Global recognition of #infertility as a high-burden "Disease" by WHO 2. Promising worldwide trend in lowering multiple birth rates 3. Challenging emergence of gene-editing technology @ the intersection of ART & #Genetics

1. ACOG recommends that COVID-19 vaccines should not be withheld from pregnant individuals who meet criteria for vaccination based on ACIP-recommended priority groups. 2. 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. 3. Expected side effects should be explained as part of counseling patients, including that they are a nor...mal part of the body’s reaction to the vaccine and developing antibodies to protect against COVID-19 illness. 4. The mRNA vaccines are not live virus vaccines, nor do they use an adjuvant to enhance vaccine efficacy. These vaccines do not enter the nucleus and do not alter human DNA in vaccine recipients. As a result, mRNA vaccines cannot cause any genetic changes.

A fun and wonderful resource for parents and their children!

With all of the activity on Mother’s Day, people tend to forget about those who cannot become mothers! Remember your infertile friends on these days; they will appreciate knowing that you haven’t forgotten them.
