Coronavirus Vaccination For Pregnant Women

The Mumbai civic body has organised a special drive to vaccinate pregnant women against COVID-19. Starting tomorrow they will be offered a Covid vaccine at one of 35 centres across the city, at which staff have been given special training for this.

Pregnant women can now register on the CoWIN platform or visit vaccination centres for COVID-19 shots, the government said on Friday.

Pregnant women "can and should" be vaccinated against COVID-19, the Union Health Ministry said Friday evening, signalling a policy change that follows growing concern over exposure of expectant mothers (and their children) to the deadly virus.

Sri Lanka began injecting pregnant women with a Chinese coronavirus vaccine on Wednesday and Nepal resumed inoculations with a China-made jab as India's neighbours turn to Beijing and Moscow for help with supplies.

India will begin vaccination against the deadly coronavirus tomorrow with frontline health workers receiving the first shots. Vaccines have been flown to 12 cities for the first phase of the drive and kept under armed guard. States have been allotted vaccine doses based on their healthcare workers' data.
