Hi
Yes now There is data available for covid-19 vaccination related effect on lactating mother /expected mothers- to baby.
Hence better to take vaccination if mother is lactating or pregnent.
Just avoid vaccination in first trimester pregnency.

As per recent guidelines every pregnant woman should be vaccinated . Vaccine type will be decided by treating gynaecologist depending on whether the pregnancy is normal or high risk.
