Express News Service KOCHI: While the Ministry of Health  has given the nod for expecting mothers to be vaccinated against Covid, the jury is still out on its possible impact on pregnancies. Even as the ministry finally gave its approval to the long-pending demand, experts have advised caution and recommended that ‘preferably’ the jab can be avoided in the first trimester of pregnancy, which is crucial to the formation of the foetus.  Studies reveal that pregnant women are highly vulnerable, and are also at increased risk of severe illness, from Covid. They are at a higher risk for preterm birth and may have higher risk of other adverse pregnancy outcomes, including neonatal morbidity. In the wake of high number of maternal deaths across the country during the second wave, doctors and NGOs had petitioned the Centre to open up vaccinations for expecting mothers.
