New Delhi: In a much-awaited decision, the Union Health Ministry has accepted the recommendations of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) that COVID-19 vaccination is safe for pregnant women.
With this, now they can register on CoWIN or walk-in to the nearest COVID Vaccination Centre (CVC) to get themselves vaccinated. The operational guideline for vaccinating pregnant women, counselling kit for Medical Officers and Frontline Workers and IEC material for the public has been shared with States/ UTs for its implementation.
"Pregnant woman, who opts for vaccination, can be inoculated with the COVID-19 vaccines available in the country any time during their pregnancy at the nearest Government or Private COVID Vaccination Centres after registration on CoWIN or by walk-in registration at the nearest CVC."
