Op-Ed: Unvaxxed Nurses Should Not Be Delivering Newborns “These employees are nurses who are charged with caring for new parents and innocent newborns who haven't yet built up their immune system.”
As a medical professional, you have borne witness to the pandemic firsthand this entire time, and yet, you make a deliberate choice to not keep yourself and the people you care for safe.I can’t imagine what it would be like to be told weeks before my due date that everything about my plans was changing. Though, if I’m being honest, if I knew that my labor and delivery nurse wasn’t vaccinated, I wouldn’t want them involved.
There will be those who say that they are doing everything else to protect themselves and their patients from the virus. They follow all the other guidelines. But we know, after losing 500,000 Americans to Covid before the vaccine was widely available, that taking it makes a difference. Taking the vaccine saves lives — full stop. There is no way anyone can claim to not understand the tragic outcomes that result when Covid is left to ravage our communities.
Here is a thought: if you are so unconcerned with contracting Covid, switch departments from labor and delivery to the Covid unit. I mean, if you truly don’t believe that it’s any worse than the flu, go ahead — be the one to step in the middle of it all. In the meantime, to all the expectant parents who have had their delivery plans turned upside down because of this, don’t worry. Yes, I know it is easier said than done, but focus on what is in your control.
