Actress Geeta Basra, who is expecting her second child with cricketer-husband Harbhajan Singh, feels that expecting mothers should follow proper government guidelines when it comes to considering getting the Covid-19 vaccination. Geeta, who often talks about parenting and women's health, feels unless the government announces that it is safe for mothers to take the jab, no one should make a poorly informed decision.
Geeta's social media account is flooded with messages from a lot of expecting mothers on whether they should take the Covid vaccine. Commenting on the same, Geeta says: "Vaccination is something which is new to of all us. It's a known fact that the vaccine helps keep the virus at bay but at the same time many doctors are advising to-be moms against taking the jab. The government guidelines and the medical organisations suggest that breastfeeding and pregnant women should not take the vaccine."
