In a bid to vaccinate a major population with the threat of Covid third wave looming large, Google India has urged pregnant and lactating women to schedule their vaccination doses.

In a tweet, Google said, “EVERYONE who is 18 years & above is eligible to get vaccinated 💉 But wait, there’s some more info. Keep scrolling again ⬇️”

Vaccination for pregnant women is likely to start in the next few days after the ministry of health and family welfare issued extensive guidelines for vaccination of pregnant women after they are fully informed about the vaccine and given a choice to take it.

The ministry of health and family welfare has stated that there is no scientific evidence suggesting that the Covid-19 vaccination causes infertility in men and women. All vaccines and their constituents are tested first on animals and later in humans to assess any side effects, the ministry has stated.

National expert group on vaccine administration has recommended Covid-19 vaccination for all lactating women as well.

NOTE: Asianet News humbly requests everyone to wear masks, sanitize, maintain social distancing and get vaccinated as soon as eligible. Together we can and will break the chain #ANCares #IndiaFightsCorona
