On June 25, the Union Ministry of Health said that children can be vaccinated against measles. Speaking at a press conference on behalf of the Union Ministry of Health, Dr. Balaram Varghese, Director, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), said, “The Ministry of Health has directed that pregnant women be vaccinated. The vaccine will also be effective in their body. ”
The ministry and doctors say more than 90 percent of infected pregnant women do not need hospitalization. Rather, they are healed at home. However, if the health deteriorates rapidly, it may affect the fetus, which is why vaccination has been suggested.
VK Paul, head of the Covid Task Committee and a member of the policy commission, said children of all women who are still breastfed can safely take the vaccine. Those who have just become mothers can also get the vaccine. It will not be a problem for anyone, it has been said.
