Accepted Answer

yes definitely any Covid vaccine like covishield / covaxin / sputnik can be given safely to nursing mothers and pregnant women as per the latest recommendation which is approved by govt of India.children are still not included in this list.trials are still going on but proper confirmation regarding this is not yet done by the govt.it may take some more time.till then children need to be kept under full safety precautions and given a good balanced diet n supplements for good immunity and other vaccines done timely.
Nursing mothers can feed their child as soon as required after the vaccination very safely.it has no  adverse effects on the baby.in case of any pain or feverv after vaccination,tab dolo can be taken which is safest during this period.

Dear parent, being a doctor I suggest the mother to get vaccinated for covid. I have seen pregnant mothers suffering with covid, it's better to safeguard the mother & the child from covid. I have vaccinated more than 300 mothers in last 2 months,no side effects have been reported so far. As the next wave is expected in the coming months it's must to protect the mother & the child by vaccination. stay safe.
