Depends on you. Yet safety data of covid vaccine is not available in lactating mothers. But considering the pandemic condition and disease dangerousness it is advisable. Yet no major side effect noted in such cases. Obviously depends only with your informed decision. Some states in India are suggesting not to take it but some states it is given after your informed decision.
