In this episode, Missi and Cara talk about viral illness in pregnancy and how to protect against some of the most common and most harmful respiratory infections. Influenza, COVID, and RSV are reviewed in detail (with a small shoutout to pertussis, whoop whoop!), as these infections not only impact the pregnancy and pregnant person, but may have profound impact on the newborn infant. Vaccine recommendations are provided and a great illness triage algorithm is discussed. #Viral #Flu #COVID #RSV #VaccinesSaveLives #VaccineSuperHero #VaccinesInPregnancy #ProtectYourself #Illness #Triage #WhoopWhoop
