A. for more guidance you can consult with your doctor and the doctor will clear any further doubts and will give you all the relevant information required regarding the query mentioned .Covid vaccination like covishield/ covaxin in the breastfeeding mothers can be given very safely . According to the latest guidelines issued by healthy ministry pregnant women can also be now safely given the current available vaccines . so they can also register at covin app. Minor complications like fever lethargy pain at injection site can be handled safely by taking paracetamol . Presently children are not included in this list. Mothersc can feed their child as soon as required after the vaccination very safely with no side effects in the child
