The central government yesterday announced a workplace vaccination drive from April 11, 2021, for all people aged above 45 years.
The government approved two vaccines, Covishield and Covaxin.
As the effect of the vaccine on pregnant women and lactating mothers is not known, they should not receive the vaccine.
Inactive vaccines are considered safe and reliable. Hence, they have been using across the world for many years.
Bharat Biotech's Covaxin did not finish the third phase of clinical trials.
