Now Pregnant Woman can get COVID vaccinated in India

In a new directive from the Health Ministry of India , Pregnant women can now register on the CoWIN platform or visit vaccination centres for COVID-19 shots, the government announced on Friday. Furthermore the Govt had shared rules and procedures with states to roll out the programme.

This is a major policy change that follows growing concern over exposure of expectant mothers (and their children) to the Coronavirus, the Union Health Ministry said last Friday that pregnant women “can and should” be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Walk-In and CoWin registration is allowed for Pregnant Mothers for vaccines

Until as recently as last month lactating women were eligible for the vaccine but pregnant women were not; the government had said this was due to a lack of safety and efficacy data since clinical trials for vaccines do not typically include pregnant women as participants.

“The Health Ministry has given guidelines that the vaccine can be given to pregnant women. Vaccination is useful for them and should be given,” Dr Balram Bhargava, Director-General of the Indian Council for Medical Research, was quoted as saying by a news agency last week.

Vaccination for pregnant women was one of the topics discussed by the NTAGI, or National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation, in May.

“Considering current situation of pandemic, NTAGI-STSC recommends pregnant women should not be excluded from vaccination because exposure probability is very high and therefore the benefit far outweighs the risk,” the committee said in the minutes of its May 28 meeting.

Doubts were raised about possible risks to the mother and/or child – including that of clotting (or thrombosis) with the Covishield jab, but the committee decided “benefit far outweighs the risk”.
