No trial, no vax for pregnant women: Experts
Pune:11.02.2021
Public health experts have said pregnant women and lactating mothers should not be given Covid-19 vaccine since trials have not been conducted on such subjects.
Dr Vinod Paul, Niti Aayog member (health), said, “There have been no trials for this group. So they cannot be administered vaccines.”
“Pregnant and lactating women are left out of trials as no one wants to risk damage to mother or baby,” said vaccine scientist Dr Gagandeep Kang. “Current vaccines can’t be tried on them.” TNN
