The Pennsylvania Senate Democratic Policy Committee, in collaboration with the House Democratic Policy Committee and the PA Women's Health Caucus, held a virtual public hearing to address critical issues surrounding maternal health and vaccine safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hearing featured expert testimonies highlighting the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on mothers, particularly women of color, and the urgent need for reforms to improve maternal health outcomes across the state.

Experts, including healthcare professionals and psychologists, emphasized the importance of including women in clinical trials and the necessity of providing comprehensive support for pregnant women navigating the challenges posed by COVID-19. The discussions underscored the alarming rise in maternal morbidity and mortality rates in the U.S. and called for substantial reforms to ensure equitable access to quality healthcare for all mothers and their families.
