I'm 2 months pregnant, can I get covishield 2nd dose during this early pregnancy period. I want to know is there any risk involved in taking covid vaccination during early pregnancy? I can only take covishield since it was my 1st dose taken before pregnancy

Corona vaccines are safe in pregnancy. As a general teaching, we learned to avoid any live attenuated vaccination during first trimester of pregnancy (12-14wks). So if you don’t want to miss second dose you can take it or delay until completion of first trimester. In medical field, if benefit is more than risk we take that risk.
