Any vaccine amongst the available ones can be taken with minimal risk. The benefits outweigh the risk of the vaccine, according to the latest ICMR (India) and CDC (United States) guidelines. The same guidelines also clarify that it is safe for lactating mothers, and it has been confirmed with several clinical trials involving lactating mothers.
