Accepted Answer

my personal opinion advice for you would be that you should take the vaccine
government of India does not allow lactating mother and pregnant mother to take vaccination.
at present the government does not have any statistics and studies and clinical trials to show whether this vaccine is safe for them or not.
but according to Western studies and western medical guidelines they recommend that lactating mothers can take the vaccination. also so there are many e gynaecological and paediatric doctors would recommend this. the final decision has to be taken by the mother after consulting your personal doctor

, hello good evening dear what I will suggest is there is a mix of response where few people tell to take the vaccine in few people tend not to take the vaccination and even doctor said the same so what I will suggest see just wait and observe things then you can decide
