Swabs even for elective C?

Hey guys, did anyone else’s doctor make them swab for strep even though your elective is scheduled??
I feel as though it’s not necessary since vaginal birth is completely off the table. But maybe there’s something I’m missing?? I wish she would explain these things better to me but visits are always so rushed. Should I deny the swabs? It seems so invasive considering the baby won’t be coming out that way.
