The rollout of COVID-19 vaccines has begun across the globe, and there’s hope that we may finally be able to get the virus under control in the coming months. However, the release of vaccines has become another source of stress for women who are pregnant, thinking about getting pregnant, or are breastfeeding, as they wonder: “Should I get the vaccine?”

As part of Down Syndrome Awareness Month, local families share their experiences with the compassionate, expert team in South Shore Health's Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) Program.

As they continued to see sicker and more complex patients, South Shore VNA needed a space to hold hands-on trainings for caregivers. The Friends of South Shore Health stepped up to make it happen.
