Covid FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Covid-19

We know that our patients have many questions about Covid-19 vaccination, especially for those that are trying to conceive, are pregnant, or are lactating. We’ve put together a list of some of our most frequently asked questions and their answers for your reference. We encourage you to speak directly with your provider if you have questions about whether or not vaccination is the right choice for you, and any concerns or questions you may have.

We encourage you to read more about the vaccine and Covid-19 as it relates to your health at the websites below. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists are valuable resources.

We don’t have a definitive date to resume all surgeries, but we will get an update from St. Luke’s on 7 November.

We can provide updates over the phone, as well as information on what insurance is accepted where.
