SUMMARY:Prioritizing Maternal Health Amid COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Chelsea Clinton\, DPhil\, MPH\, Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation\, will moderate a virtual webinar hosted by CUNY SPH\, Hunger Free NYC\, and the National Black Leadership Commission on Health on the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant and postpartum women and their babies. The panel will feature experts in pediatrics\, obstetrics and gynecology\, health communication\, and community health work. \nEsteemed panelists include: \n\nCamille A. Clare\, MD\, MPH\, CPE\, FACOG \nChair\, SUNY-Downstate Health Sciences University\, Professor\, College of Medicine & School of Public Health\, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology \n\nLily Dosina\nWIC Program Manager\, Hunger Free NYC \n\nAyman El-Mohandes\, MBBCh\, MD\, MPH\, FAAP \nDean\, CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy \n\nAisha T. Langford\, PhD\, MPH\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Population Health\, NYU Langone Health\n\nA range of topics regarding COVID-19 vaccination will be discussed including vaccine mandates\, breastfeeding\, infertility\, and conception. \nCommunity-based outreach for the COVID-19 vaccine continues to be an essential tool in making sure all people get vaccinated. Pregnant people remain one of the lowest vaccinated groups of individuals\, with only 33 percent of pregnant people fully vaccinated as of October 2. Pregnant people of color have even lower rates of vaccination\, with 28 percent of Hispanic pregnant people and only 17.4 percent of Black pregnant individuals vaccinated. \nDispelling myths about the COVID-19 vaccination and its impact on pregnancy is crucial to getting more people vaccinated\, decreasing rates of coronavirus\, and ensuring the safety of communities. New studies show that pregnant women who contract COVID-19 and have symptoms face risks of emergency complications with their pregnancies\, while new data from the Centers for Disease Control show that the vaccine is safe for pregnant women and does not increase risk of miscarriage. \nBuilding upon its commitment to engage New Yorkers to understand how COVID-19 has affected their lives\, CUNY SPH launched the New York Vaccine Literacy Campaign in April 2021. The Campaign aims to lighten the load of community and direct service organizations by increasing community-level access to vaccine education and information through tailored webinars\, education modules\, training\, and other capacity-building resources. This work is supported by the New York Community Trust\, the Altman Foundation\, the New York State Health Foundation\, and the Samuel Freeman Charitable Trust. \nOrganizers \n\nJoel Berg\, CEO\, Hunger Free America\nEvelyn Botwe\, MPH\, Program Coordinator\, National Black Leadership Commission on Health\nHannah Stuart Lathan\, MPH\, Program Manager\, NY Vaccine Literacy Campaign\, CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy\n\n
