CDC issues an ’urgent’ warning for pregnant people to get vaccinatedCDC

 

發「緊急」警告建議孕婦接種疫苗

【摘要2021.10.25..自由】陳成良

Amidst an uptick in the number of pregnant people dying from COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday issued an urgent health advisory to doctors, public health leaders, and babymakers across the country - urging more vaccinations of pregnant people to protect the lives of those who are or may become pregnant, and to keep their fetuses safe and healthy too.

在死於 COVID-19 (武漢肺炎,新型冠狀病毒病)的孕婦人數增加之際,美國疾病管制暨預防中心(CDC)週三向全國各地的醫生、公共衛生領袖和孕婦發佈緊急健康建議,敦促孕婦接種疫苗以保護孕婦或準孕婦的生命,同時也保護胎兒的安全和健康。

The advisory comes on the heels of the deadliest month of the pandemic for pregnant people yet. In August, at least 22 pregnant people died from COVID-19 in the US, and almost all of the pregnant people who have been hospitalized with COVID-19 in 2021 so far have been unvaccinated (97%).

該建議是在對孕婦而言最致命的大流行月份之後發佈的。8月,美國至少有22名孕婦死於COVID-19,而2021年迄今因 COVID-19住院的孕婦幾乎全部未接種疫苗(佔97%)。

The CDC strongly recommends COVID-19 vaccination either before or during pregnancy, yet only around 1 in 3 pregnant people nationwide are vaccinated right now.

CDC強烈建議在懷孕前或懷孕期間接種COVID-19疫苗,但目前全美只有約3分之1孕婦接種疫苗。
