It's safe to vaccinate during, before or after menstruation The Covid vaccination process is opening for all above 18 from May 1, and a prominent myth saying women should not get the jab five days after and before her menstruation cycle, is doing the rounds. According to Dr Manju Gupta, Senior Consultant - Obstetrician and Gynecologist, Motherhood Hospital, Noida has denied such claims and said it's completely safe to get oneself inoculated during, after and before ones' periods. A few days after it was announced, several women had raised concerns over taking Covid-19 jabs during periods. Even social media was full of such posts, where it stated that women should not take Covid-19 vaccines five days before and after their period cycle as their "immunity is very less" during periods.
