A woman in Maple Ridge, B.C., who is expecting her first child says provincial health officials ought to follow Ontario's lead and prioritize pregnant women for the COVID-19 vaccine. "I would encourage all pregnant women to be extra careful at this time with the increased [COVID case] numbers," Ross said. 'Protect 2 people with 1 vaccine'Ontario has bumped pregnant women to the front of the line, but in B.C. Health officials say they will add more priority groups like pregnant women if the province gets more vaccines. But doctors like Ross question why pregnant women haven't already been added to the priority list.
