發「緊急」警告建議孕婦接種疫苗
【摘要2021.10.25.一.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。
