Can I get a
COVID-19 vaccine if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommends
COVID-19 vaccination before, during or after pregnancy. In fact,
the benefits of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine outweigh the
known and potential risks for pregnant people.
In
addition to protecting the breastfeeding person who receives the
COVID-19 vaccine, getting vaccinated may also protect the baby.

experience.

 Sleep apnea can be treated
Sleep
apnea is a condition in which a person’s airway sometimes narrows
or closes while they sleep. If not treated, the strain can lead to
high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. Signs to look for can
be coughing throughout the night, dry mouth, headaches in the
morning, memory loss, or being
chronically tired.
Think
you suffer from sleep apnea? Good news: it can be treated.
