While interacting to user’s comments, Geeta said COVID-19 vaccine is new to all of us. Although, it’s meant to keep the virus at bay, the same has not been tested and is not recommended to be given during pregnancy.
If it’s given to them, there can be chances that it may produce some sort of complications as well.

The government guidelines and the medical organizations suggest that breastfeeding and pregnant women should not take the vaccine. As of now, there isn’t enough evidence and studies carried out on the effects of the vaccine on lactating and pregnant women.
I have also been advised by the doctors to not take the vaccine for now and I would urge expecting mothers to refrain as well till we don’t have further announcements from the government in this regard.”
