Myth: I'm planning to get pregnant, and pregnant women shouldn't get the vaccine.
Fact: Vaccinating against COVID-19 is important as pregnant women are at increased risk for severe illness if they are infected with COVID-19. Talk to your doctor about what's right for you.

Myth: The vaccine was rushed.
Truth: Years of science and innovation have paved the way for this vaccine to be delivered quickly. Two reasons the vaccines were developed quickly are because mRNA vaccines can be produced faster than other vaccines, and researchers used existing clinical trial networks to begin conducting COVID-19 vaccine trials as soon as possible.

Myth: I’m planning to get pregnant, and pregnant women shouldn’t get the vaccine.
