Congratulations 👏 for the new arrival in family. Yes you should go ahead and take vaccine now. Lots of myths regarding the vaccine in pregnancy and lactation are going on but we shud follow the scientific reasons for vaccine. But remember continue doing covid appropriate behaviour. Vaccination does not guarantee prevention of infection only severe cases ICU admission and death may be prevented. Immunity starts to come around one month after the second dose. Any vaccine which is available at your place is best for you.
Next Steps
continue vivid appropriate behaviour. avoid social gatherings

vaccination is an essential step towards your own safety , safety of society and safety of nation and mankind
