NICU Medical Director, MU Health Care
Dr. Olugbemisola Obi is the medical director for the NICU, or neonatal intensive care unit, at MU Health Care in Columbia.
She says the hospital has seen some mothers lately who are very sick from COVID-19 – so sick in fact that their babies are delivered pre-term. She spoke about the impact that having a premature baby in the NICU – while also being COVID-19 positive –can impact a family.
The CDC now recommends the COVID-19 vaccination for anyone who is currently pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant, or might become pregnant in the future.
