It’s no surprise that the healthcare system feels overwhelmed and is bearing more than it can handle. Newer issues surrounding the vaccine rise due to the hesitancy of pregnant women taking it. Pregnant women are reluctant to take the vaccine because they feel they’re putting their unborn child at great risk. During the initial rise of the Covid-19, healthcare professionals did not encourage them to take it which slightly set them back. This is due to studies finding that symptoms resulting from the vaccine may complicate their pregnancy. Despite their efforts to urge them to get it now, their suspicion regarding the risks during their pregnancy and emergency procedures still persists. Due to their precautions, hospitalizations are increasing specifically from their category. As a result, this places pressure on healthcare professionals amid the pandemic however, it’s likely pregnant women will come around when they receive more information disputing their suspicions.
Adding to the dilemma, as a result of the pandemic, doctors are witnessing the advancement of cancer cases due to the delay in treatment and screenings. Difficulty in catching up arises because many patients are behind in their routinely screenings and treatments. With this in mind, doctors are now more nervous when patients show up to their office after a while because they anticipate their cancer has spread, and it usually has. However, they will still continue to do their best in decreasing the backlog of patients. Inevitably, during the start they had to adjust themselves to Covid-19 patients and tend to them as well, but as more time goes by, the simultaneous focus on both types of patients becomes more manageable.
In light of the increased vaccinations during the pandemic, the United States are planning to open its borders to Canada and Mexico for fully vaccinated travelers in November. This means when people provide proof of their vaccination they are permitted to go into Canada or Mexico to see family or be tourists and come back as they please. Government Officials did not announce an exact date for the opening yet, but it is likely they will disclose that information as November approaches. Finally after roughly 19 months of border closure, this marks the start of a new chapter in the recovery stage from the pandemic.
