The Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (IOG) and Government Hospital for Women and Children has started vaccinating lactating women. In two days, 12 lactating women have received COVID-19 vaccines at the hospital. It was in mid-May that the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare accepted fresh recommendations from the National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19 for vaccinating lactating mothers. Earlier, the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India had also stated that lactating women should be considered as COVID-19 vaccine candidates as there were no known adverse effects on the neonate who is breastfeeding.More Related News
