The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 30, 2021

The C.D.C. recently issued an "urgent" plea for pregnant and breastfeeding Americans to get the COVID vaccine, since the risk of complications from COVID for this group of people is high. Veronica Maria Pimentel, attending physician of OBGYN, specialist in maternal fetal medicine, and assistant professor of OBGYN, and Uché Blackstock, emergency medicine physician, founder & CEO of Advancing Health Equity, and MSNBC medical contributor, talk about the risks, and how she approaches vaccine-hesitant people to try to convince them to get the shot.
