Mumbai's civic body Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday decided to allow Covid-19 vaccination for pregnant women and lactating mothers, without prior registration. I have just been informed by @mybmc that my request for giving the option to pregnant women for COVID vaccination is going to be implemented and also for lactating mothers. "A call was taken by higher-level officials later at night to include pregnant women too. On May 19, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan wrote to all states to allow lactating women to undergo vaccination. As of now, the US and a few European countries have granted permission to pregnant women to get immunised.
