We have to sort out their issues and arrange vaccination as per their convenience.” Seeking support of the public, she adds, “If a single person is left out, he will be a threat to not only his family but also to the whole society.”

Dr. Ashutosh Barman, Jt. Director of Health Services, who is a gynaecologist also tells that “After many rounds of research it has been found safe in pregnant women and lactating mothers as well. Hence, all the pregnant women and lactating mothers should come forward to get their doses.”
